end{tabular}%
}

Now some of the fonts are being rendered but some are not getting rendered, for example notice the shoe sign ʃ.

Am I missing any package or is it logical error?

It is simply a matter of choosing a font that has the characters.
If you use xelatex's default computer modern, the log file will show multiple
Missing character: There is no ʃ in font [lmroman10-regular]:mapping=tex-text;!

If I switch to Arial then there are no such warnings and all the characters appear, many other fonts will be available, but no font covers all of Unicode so you need to pick one that covers the range you need.
I removed the resizebox.
