a character that DejaVu Sans Mono actually doesnt have is:

   U+01C4 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER DZ WITH CARON

Using this file:

   $ cat glyph.c
   #include <stdio.h>
   #include <windows.h>
   int main()
   {
     CONSOLE_FONT_INFOEX ta;
     ta.cbSize = sizeof ta;
     GetCurrentConsoleFontEx(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), 0, &ta);
     HDC wh = GetDC(0);
     SelectObject(wh,
       CreateFontW(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ta.FaceName));
     WCHAR xr[4] = {0xFFFD, 0x2592, 0x25A1, 0x01C4};
     WORD zu[4];
     GetGlyphIndicesW(wh, xr, 4, zu, 1);
     printf("%ls:\n", ta.FaceName);
     for (int q = 0; q < 4; q++) {
       printf("  U+%04X: %s\n",
       xr[q], zu[q] == 0xffff ? "failure" : "success");
     }
   }

I get this result:

   DejaVu Sans Mono:
     U+FFFD: success
     U+2592: success
     U+25A1: success
     U+01C4: failure
