Any substantive work with Unicode is facilitated by visual feedback of the 16
column table space. Empty (undefined glyphs omitted by font designer) and
Unicode reserved blocks on the tables for the planes the font supports (bug
141319). Giving user a direct read of Unicode for each cell with a glyph or
equally without.

Look at the very functional chart implemented in BableMap [1], where visual
scaning of the Unicode charts provides coverage details--and a radio button
toggle between composite font and single font's coverage.  An easy way to
identify when a font selection needs to be changed.

In fact the SCD has retained a 16 column chart from inception. Though we've
always packed. But, rather than packing the font (loosing any Unicode context)
the ask is to render the charts with fidelity to Unicode.
