I have now tried binaries from around the date your build was made,
and they don't crash here.  The system where I tried doesn't have a
font that supports the characters whose codepoint is the result of the
evaluation, u+09D5.

That character belongs to the Bengali block.  Can you see which
font(s) you have installed that support that block?  Also, does Emacs
display the Bengali greeting in etc/HELLO?  If it does, you can use
"C-u C-x =" on that part of HELLO to show the font Emacs uses.
