Odt file with "copiright" sign which cases a crash on pdf export

Hello!

I have an odt document which consist a "copyright" character, which was copied
from ms-word and pasted in the odt-document. And it seems that character cause
a crash when i try to export to pdf.

Investigating the problem i found out that LO handles that character
differently depending on how I open the file. 

On Windows, when I double-click the file, Writer app starts, opens the file and
displays that symbol correctly as "c in circle". Then if I try to export it to
PDF LO invariably crashes, sometimes also giving me a weird message that the
file was blocked by another user (right before a crash)...

BUT! If I firstly start LO with Start menu, then open the file using File->Open
menu, copyright sign is displayed as a placeholder (a small rectangle instead
of normal character). In this case PDF exporting works fine.

Expected behavior:
LO always displays that character correctly regardless of how the file was
opened and never crashes on exporting it to PDF.

That symbol code is U+F0D3.
OS: Win 7 x64,
LO version is 4.0.0.3 (Build ID: 7545bee9c2a0782548772a21bc84a9dcc583b89), but
it seems 3.6.2 is affected too.
