AFAIK, U+0FE0 is a valid Unicode character: this is precisely U+0FE0.
But this character is not present in the Unicode database, which is
a different thing. This may be why a box is not shown.

FYI, for this character, I get:

Property alnum : no
Property alpha : no
Property cntrl : no
Property digit : no
Property graph : no
Property lower : no
Property print : no
Property punct : no
Property space : no
Property upper : no
Property xdigit: no
