Doing some research, it doesn't seem like there is a single Unicode font covering everything. Some come close (GNU) but are terribly ugly. The Google Noto font family contains 200+ fonts and nicely covers most of Unicode. However, that comes at 271 MB compressed (see GitHub). So this could be:

You could then set either a subset of the fonts, or all fonts.
