As is known to all, unicode can represent all the character in the world. Now, my problem is how to create font by an unicode value. Because each unicode value represents a char.

Here is a related link: http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/~tomw/java/unicode.html[^]

Here is a C++ API:

C++

HFONT CreateFont(
  _In_  int nHeight,
  _In_  int nWidth,
  _In_  int nEscapement,
  _In_  int nOrientation,
  _In_  int fnWeight,
  _In_  DWORD fdwItalic,
  _In_  DWORD fdwUnderline,
  _In_  DWORD fdwStrikeOut,
  _In_  DWORD fdwCharSet,
  _In_  DWORD fdwOutputPrecision,
  _In_  DWORD fdwClipPrecision,
  _In_  DWORD fdwQuality,
  _In_  DWORD fdwPitchAndFamily,
  _In_  LPCTSTR lpszFace
);

Is it possible to do that by the function?
Anyone can help me?

The CreateFont[^] function creates a logical font based on the request parameters and the actual font files that are loaded on your system. Most fonts include Unicode characters for various different languages and there are fonts that handle Asian type alphabets.
Creating a new font from scratch requires a number of other tools; Google will help you to find articles on the subject.

One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.
