How exactly do you enter/add "checkmark from webdings" (in fact - U+F0FC from
Wingdings)?
The problem in your file is, that the checkmarks are *not* marked with some
specific font. The red characters use Liberation Serif font; and that indeed
requires a substitution - i.e., looking for *some* font on the system, which
could provide a glyph for the codepoint. This process is *not* guaranteed to be
stable - it will *definitely* depend on the installed font set (e.g., will give
different glyphs on macOS or Android - though here, it's not *this* case, since
I see the same as you: on my Windows 11, LO 7.4 shows checkmarks, and 7.6 shows
ì); also it is OK when this algorithm changes in a newer versions, which could
result in a different font chosen for substitution.

But if you explicitly select the characters in cells, and mark them as
Wingdings, they save and open correctly.

I am inclined to say that this is not a bug. A file with "I don't care which
font this symbol is taken from" is subject to changes. It would still be
interesting to bisect to which specific change in 7.5 cycle caused this (there
is a chance that this is still an unexpected side effect, which could possibly
be fixed)...
