FWIW I checked my Windows 7 laptop, on which the Arial font does *not* 
contain U+1E9E. Neither does Arial Unicode MS, which generally has the 
best coverage of widely-available fonts on Windows.  Times New Roman 
does have it. So it seems that for display on the web, at least, it's 
probably safest to stick with (1) for a bit longer unless it is very 
important to display this character and you want to get fussy about font 
fallback.
