Since you have the choice of typeface, you can populate it with the 
characters you choose. If no standard font meets your criteria, 
construct your own. I have done just that for a font with maximum 
visibility (to me, of course) in smallest size. That Faxfont is my 
preferred typeface for proportional display, with a standard set of 
characters.

Again, whatever typeface you choose for e-mail will offer a set of 
standard characters (alphameric the rest of them through 127), a set of 
quasi-standard characters (essentially those of HTML 1) and slots for 
whatever the font creator wishes. Unless you are coordinated with all of 
your correspondents, what you see in those undefined slots is unlikely 
to be the same as what they observe.
