Over all of a potential 65,535 glyphs, Charis Sil 7 supports 3953 which is an improvement of the 3856 in Charis SIL 6.2.

Compare this to Code2000 which offers 63153 glyphs or Microsoft Arial Unicode MS which offers 50,376 glyphs. Admittedly this comes at the cost of 11MB and 22MB file sizes and no italic/bold/bold-italic variants.
The problem with Code2000 is there is no bold, bold italic, or italic versions.
