Shavian block characters displaying as boxes on desktop

I have a windows 10 PC, and I'm having a problem which I had in the past: files that I name with characters from the Shavian unicode block (U+10450..U+1047F) are displaying only as boxes on the desktop. As a Shavian hobbyist, it would be helpful to be able to use Shavian for filenames and so on.



I know that the Shavian characters are found in Segoe UI Historic, which is a font found in Windows 10 by default. In fact, sometime in the past I followed a guide to get it displaying correctly which involved adding some values in the registry which, I believe, added a backup font (Segoe ″ ″) to load any characters that the default from couldn't.



However, a few months ago I'd done a clean install, and I can't find anything like that guide. (I know, I shouldn't have been messing with the registry when I didn't understand what I was doing in the first place.) I was wondering if anyone could help me out in getting these characters to display on my desktop once again. They display in-browser, and also in Discord and some other apps, but just not in Explorer.
