incorrect display of unicode character
In microsoft office 365 online version of "word", I created a document with a bulleted list. The top-level bullet is displayed as a box with the F0B7 hex code: (not sure what will be displayed in this forum). I see this is on RHEL 7 with Firefox 60.4.0esr and Ubuntu 18 with Firefox 64.0. I installed the microsoft Symbol font and this character shows up correctly in other applications such as EMACS and Gnome Terminal. How can I trouble-shoot this? Thanks, Allen

I'm pretty sure that Firefox doesn't support chars from the Private Use Area (U+E000–U+F8FF). Under the Unicode definition, for this char there's no representative glyph provided, and character semantics are left to private agreement.
Hmm, I don't think we found a solution in last year's thread on this problem, but you can check out what we looked at: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1227507
Thanks TyDraniu and jscher2000. I searched the forum before I posted; I guess my searching skills are too weak. Sorry for wasting your time.
Is it worthwhile reporting this as a bug?
Hi allenbarnett, I imagine there is a bug on file, but maybe not? I agree the search here is weak because it is difficult to filter out the numerous other font issues to focus on this one.
