I have several which can show these glyphs.

In TextEdit, the default font that is being used is "Unicode Symbols",
as shown in one of the attached screenshots.
Get it from      http://users.teilar.gr/~g1951d/ .

The other screenshot shows which fonts I have installed
that support Plane 1 characters.


Other possibilities are  Code200/Code2001/Code2002
e.g., from  http://www.code2000.net/code2001.htm .

The STIX fonts are scheduled for release soon:
     http://www.stixfonts.org/rel_sched.html
(The beta testing release is no longer available.)

Other free fonts are also available; e.g. Asana Math
   http://openfontlibrary.org/media/files/asyropoulos/219 .

Or if you are prepared to try Microsoft's  "Cambria Math",
then that should work.
