John, the short answer is, 'No.'   But on linux, I have Font Manager for GTK desktops and in that I 
can select the Manage function, select Mathematical Operators in the left hand column, click in the 
character panel until I find the square representing U+226F and then go down the list of fonts one 
by one.

Takes a bit of time but I never had reason to seek a faster or better way.
