There are many math symbols in the x21xx neighborhood that Calc does not access. When I go to Insert Symbol, the dialog that pops up fills in the first digit as 1. Even if I override it and enter 2 and the rest of the digits it accepts it, but displays a blank, which is not helpful.
Do you mean: âInsert - Special Characterâ menu item?
What is version number of your LibreOffice?
What a Font are you using? (Not all of the Fonts contain many Unicode characters.)
Where you want to use those symbols? In a Calc Cell, or in a Math Formula?

If I look at Cambria Math font there is a jump from U+FE00 (Variation Selector-1) to U+1D400 (Mathematical Bold Capital A)
I see that Unicode Blocks lists 12xxx as Cuneiform so I guess you need a Cuneiform font that supports those characters.
Maybe, you mean the Decimal number instead of Unicode, for example U+1D538 (Mathematical Double-struck Capital A) has Decimal number of 120120

No, Iâm using hexadecimal. My reference is from Wikipedia at Math Operators and Symbols
Iâm trying to use a larger arrow referenced as
So the problem was that I was entering a hexadecimal number into UNICHAR() which expected a decimal number. After converting the number I was able to get the characters I wanted.
Is there a way to enter hexadecimal into a cell or function? I tried prefixing an âxâ to it but that didnât help at all.
You can use the function
=UNICHAR(HEX2DEC("21FF"))
Where the input parameter must be a hexadecimal STRING,
