If I change the font selection to Charis I correctly regardless of the setting for supplemental font, I see symbols in those positions.

I *thought* that the idea of the supplemental font was to use that for characters that do not exist in the main font.

Can anyone explain this for me?
Give ChareInk7SP a go. It's even better then the version 6 of Charis. Smaller space/NBSP and smaller line height. You can still increase the line height if you desire. Plus is has Kerning and hinting (from the author(s)).
