Terminal font behavior is different from other fonts.

For example, here is a screenshot of terminal font glyphs. Why does it have limited glyphs and is not showing Unicode codepoints?

Is there any relation between terminal font and codepage 437, because when I move the cursor to a specific font it shows codepoint value of page 437.

It is because Terminal is based upon code page 437 and is not aligned with Unicode.

Console font rendering supports only Unicode characters in BMP (in other words: below U+10000). Only simple text rendering is supported (so European — and some East Asian — languages should work fine — as far as one uses precomposed forms). [There is a minor fine print here for East Asian and for characters U+0000, U+0001, U+30FB.]
