That is actually expected. Unfortunately decimal 61473 or hex U+F021 is a glyph from the fonts Private Use Area -- no *reliable* font fall back can occur. In Wingding it is a left downward pencil, in Webdings it is a spider, in Symbol it is an exclamation mark. Dingbat glyphs from Winding or Webdings have mostly been mapped out to Unicode. [1] so should not be needed or used in preparing documents. For example The Wingding 61473/F021 lower left pencil is Unicode U+1F589 LOWER LEFT PENCIL; and covered in "Symbola" or "Segoe UI Symbol" as examples. =-ref-= [1] https://unicode.org/L2/L2011/11052r-wingding.pdf -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
