I have checked that firefox is able to fetch font files. If I add a unicode character in <p> tag then it shows but it does not work in <option></option> , but it does in chrome or other browsers.

Yes, there are a lot of issues with <select> element.

They're tracked in this meta: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1154677

I'm not sure if yours is already mentioned, you could create a new bug and attach it to the list in 1154677.
