--- Comment #12 from Khaled Hosny <[email protected]> ---
Here is my take away: Symbol font on Windows has a symbol cmap table that
handles these PUA characters. On Linux “Symbol” font is usually mapped to
“Standard Symbols L” by FontConfig, which is a Type 1 font and we no longer
support those. “Standard Symbols L” comes from GhostSctipt fonts and the latest
version actually (“Standard Symbols PS”), so it should work except that it
lacks a symbol cmap and thus unusable here.

So this is not really a bug in the layout engine per se, but a lack of suitable
font. Adding a symbol cmap to “Standard Symbols PS” might be the easiest fix,
and we can either upstream this, bundle the modified font or both.
