It's a nice program that can display any character you want, and also
can analyze font coverage on your system.

It's the best way I know of to find out which fonts Emacs might have
tried to use for displaying that character.  Armed with that
knowledge, I might be able to reproduce your crash and fix it.

The fonts Emacs choses depend on the fonts available on your system.
I cannot know which fonts you have that cover this character, and
Emacs doesn't crash for me (nor for Juanma) when we try your recipe.

Assuming you do want the reason for this crash be identified and
fixed, please help us by providing the information I asked for.
