This doesn't seem to answer the question, which is about which font is used, not what the components are.

The released exe from the author displays the PUA characters correctly. It's too small to contain a Chinese font so I guess it's the default font on Windows.

I think it might be [AR PL UKai CN](https://fontinfo.opensuse.org/fonts/ARPLUKaiCNBook.html) or something similar ([example on my computer](https://i.sstatic.net/0IdZP.png)).

I doubt it is; the 心s are clearly different, aren't they. Too bad. It's a very attractive typeface.

In the repository that you mentioned, there's [a file](https://github.com/aardio/wubi-lex/blob/master/lib/wubi/fonts.aardio) [(archive)](http://web.archive.org/web/20221107001215/https://github.com/aardio/wubi-lex/blob/master/lib/wubi/fonts.aardio) called `fonts.aardio`. In the [line 31](https://github.com/aardio/wubi-lex/blob/12463dad5a6e3d981c8d01c14c2fef0bb9b425e5/lib/wubi/fonts.aardio#L31) of that file, the following is mentioned

```
install(.(ctrl,pxSize) = 安装字体到参数指定的控件\n字体参考 https://github.com/yanhuacuo/qingg 进行了增删修改\n大部分字根已改为普通文本

```

The translation of the Chinese characters into English is

The repository whose URL was shown above contains a file called [`98WB-2.otf`](https://github.com/yanhuacuo/qingg/blob/master/98WB-2.otf) [(archive to download)](http://web.archive.org/web/20221107043500/https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yanhuacuo/qingg/master/98WB-2.otf). If you download that file, and open the file using [fontforge](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q687332) (see screenshot below), you'll notice that the font defines glyphs for the hexadecimal values that you mentioned.
