that leads to memory full problem.  How many fonts do people
have on Windows roughly?  On GNU/Linux, I have about 700
fontconfig fonts and 4500 X fonts.

I have 2092 fonts available in Emacs (1692 available through the gdi backend, 420 through the uniscribe backend - I'm not sure where the other 20 went). The problem occurs even without the gdi backend enabled - so with 420 fonts.

??? JISX0208 surely contains U+2203 (THERE EXISTS).
My mistake, so that is no problem.

By the way, in short, which part of the current code is
wrong?  Do you mean that there's a bug, or that the current
strategy doesn't work for Windows?

I haven't found what is actually going wrong here yet. But it looks like the problem is caused by has_char returning -1, then later encode_char returns FONT_INVALID_CODE. The latter does not happen with the gdi backend, because it just keeps the code as unicode, rejecting only characters that are beyond the first and last characters covered by the font.
