Since I don't have wine installed on my system, I don't have
/usr/share/fonts/wine-symbol-fonts/symbol.ttf .
The fact that it fails with the google-croscore-symbolneu-fonts package as well
would indicate that it isn't a font file issue. In fact, if you use something
such as the Gnome Character Map you'd see that the character displays properly
in that app no matter which font you select.
Additionally, the character in your test.pdf is U+2206.
I copied it and pasted it to terminal in the following manner....
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ echo ∆ | od -bc
0000000 342 210 206 012
342 210 206 \n
While the Delta character is U+0394 produces...
[egreshko@meimei F20-TC4]$ echo Δ | od -bc
0000000 316 224 012
316 224 \n
For completeness......
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ echo ∅ | od -bc
0000000 342 210 205 012
342 210 205 \n
Pretty sure this is an evince issue....
