What characters are available on Android?

I'd like to display some special Unicode characters in my Android app. These characters are not listed on droidfonts.com but they are displayed correctly on the emulator and on my phone, but want to be sure if all Android platforms will support them. Is it documented somewhere? Thanks!

EDIT

I'm looking for a method like canDisplay.

Android Support Unicode completely, but you need a Unicode font to display your characters as I know The Droid Sans font, from Android framework, contains the unicode character. but if you have are going to use from Unicode 6.0 new glyphs (like New Indian Roop) you have to use a font that supports it.
