They are talking about Unicode fonts.  They could have 2 to 10 thousand
glyphs, depending on which language glyphs are supported.

What you are asking may be in the "basic" special character sets in
Basic Latin, Latin-1, Latin Extended A and B, among other glyph sets in
a "well rounded" font.  There may be 100 to 500 glyphs in those sets in
your "popular" fonts that are used.  The sets do have names that are
defined by the "font standards", but I never remember the names or what
goes where.
