SymbolIcon rendering issues with characters beyond base Unicode points

[giiyms]

Describe the bug

Hello,

I am having rendering issues with certain Icons.
Instead of an icon appearing, it seems some hieroglyphs are shown instead.
Most of them work correctly but many fail, see Desk or Folder icons below. There are many many more.

I have imported the Segoe Fluent Icons font to see if that fixed it but it did not.
Any ideas?

To Reproduce

IconsPage.xaml.cs

using Wpf.Ui.Controls;
using Button = Wpf.Ui.Controls.Button;

namespace Demo.Features.Icons;

public partial class IconsPage : Page
{
    private IEnumerable<SymbolRegular> _allIcons =  Enum.GetValues(typeof(SymbolRegular)).Cast<SymbolRegular>().ToList();

    public IconsPage()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        LoadIcons();
    }

    private void LoadIcons(string filter = "")
    {
        IconsWrapPanel.Children.Clear();
        var iconTypes = _allIcons
            .Where(icon =>
            {
                return icon.ToString().Contains(filter, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase);
            })
            .OrderBy(icon => icon.ToString());
        foreach (SymbolRegular iconType in iconTypes)
        {
            var button = new Button
            {
                Content = iconType.ToString(),
                Margin = new Thickness(5),
                Icon = new SymbolIcon { Symbol = iconType },
                Width = 400,
                Height = 50,
            };
            IconsWrapPanel.Children.Add(button);
        }
    }

    private void SearchBox_TextChanged(object sender, TextChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        LoadIcons(SearchBox.Text);
    }
}

        </ScrollViewer>
    </Grid>
</Page>

This is an issue with Fluent System Icons themselves, as they position multiple icons beyond the base Unicode Private Use Area.
WPF doesn't support this properly.

Although FontIcon can be used directly instead of SymbolIcon as a workaround:
<ui:FontIcon FontFamily="{StaticResource FluentSystemIcons}" Glyph="&#xF0140;"/>

Enumerations for icons are generated in this funky program https://github.com/lepoco/wpfui/blob/main/src/Wpf.Ui.FontMapper/Program.cs.

I think this problem can be solved in WPF, a good set of information about font management in C# is this great project
