Once you install a font like Code2001 or the free Unicode Symbols
(http://users.teilar.gr/~g1951d/), emacs should automatically use it (it
does for me).

If not,

(set-fontset-font "fontset-default" '(#x1D400 . #x1D5FF) (font-spec
:family "Unicode Symbols") nil)

should do the trick.

This is for mathematical symbols; if you want to display latin text in
blackletter, you need a font for that and simply use

(set-frame-font "JSL Blackletter")
