Why does Firefox have trouble displaying certain Unicode Plane 1 characters (specifically, Phoenician)?
Hi. I'm trying to get Firefox to display characters from ancient scripts. I have installed all the necessary fonts, and changed the encoding to Unicode. When I try to view Phoenician and Imperial Aramaic characters (other scripts too), I just get boxes with numbers (10900 and so forth). I have a laptop that is able to display these characters but I need to be able to see them on my current system.

Do those scripts show in other browsers like IE?

Yes, I can see the characters in Internet Explorer. I'm comparing the encoding settings now, however I still can't see them in Firefox.
It is possible that the font is not compatible with Firefox if you get hex boxed with the Unicode character code and that font is working in IE.

On my laptop, the fonts work in Firefox, and they are both the same Firefox versions. However the laptop uses Windows XP and my current computer uses Windows 7.
Try installing the font "aegean".
You can find the font here
