Level design

Continuing from the previous question, this one also involves new glyphs included in Unicode 13. This question makes use of the Box Sextant characters from the UK Teletext character set (G1) to construct different forms of two dimensional code. The tricky part of the question is to find a typeface that can render those relatively newly defined codepoints.
