I confirm that it is present back to 20 December as well.
Using Arial I tested a range of special characters and compared them with conventional alt+unicode settings on other programs. Interestingly, some special characters DO come up but with totally different numbers.
Special Character -0099= NPC (Non Printable Character) 0100-0159= Boxes 0160= alt+0138 0161= alt+0154 0162-0177= Boxes 0178= alt+0159 0179-0191 Boxes 0192= alt+0131 0193-0233 Boxes 0234- NPC
I'll put in a bug report when I can get into SF.

Each time I try I get a small empty rectangle instead of the character.
I tested available builds back to the end of December, they're all broken. So probably this was never fixed except on linux. I don't know if it's
worth
trying to fix this particular bug, or perhaps we should work towards Pangofication instead, which will likely fix this and other font problems
on
windows.
I am also getting the error message shown in the attached file.
This one is unrelated, I fixed it now.
