The code tables have been shamelessly ripped from Wikipedia and include the bulk of the unicode set apart from Canadian aboriginal syllabics, CJK and Yi. I'd be surprised if the iPad renders everything, but would be interested to know if there are any blocks where the iPad is missing a lot of characters.

I couldn't load that document on my iPad -- it caused iTunes on my Mac to crash.
However, the iPad does support unicode. I downloaded a few free Chinese literature books by Gao Li and the Chinese characters were perfectly rendered.
