Another alternative is to avoid using "symbol" fonts like Wingdings that draw
from the Private Use Area and that PUA code point gets misinterpreted as to
font.  

So, keep handy these Unicode values "2713", "2714" or even "1F5F8".

   U+2713 CHECK MARK
   U+2714 HEAVY CHECK MARK
   U+1F5F8 LIGHT CHECK MARK

Those are the Unicode mappings for the common checkmarks, and on Windows they
are found in multiple fonts notably the Segoe UI Symbol font for all three. So
always available to mark as a favorite (the split button listing on the "Omega"
key).

You can also enter the Unicode directly via toggle anywhere in the LibreOffice
UI of typing the code as "U+2714" and then toggle with and <Alt>+x (or <Alt>+c
for some locales). Or you can use the <Alt>+x in most places to look up the
Unicode for a character by reversing the toggle.

Otherwise, I'd kind of agree that a shifting font when a character was picked
from a PUA area is not a bug, just avoid the practice.
