Description

**The issue**
I want to find all fonts that can draw a specific unicode character or a string of characters (say ̐ (U+0310)). On typing those characters into the preview text box on the website, I should see only those fonts that can render them. Or there should be an API function to do that. However, I am unable to filter the fonts using either the website or the API. Selecting Latin extended as the language doesn't help either.

**To Reproduce**
Copy ̐ and paste into the preview text box on [fonts.google.com](fonts.google.com).

**Expected behavior**
Should see only those fonts that can show the character. I am rather seeing all the fonts, most of them showing a box for the character.
