So there's a single font, Terminus, which supports that charset.  I
think you can work around this problem locally by adding that font to
face-ignored-fonts.

We could perhaps introduce a customizable variable that would allow
users who want that to disable the preference of charset-supporting
fonts when the text has the 'charset' property.  CC'ing Handa-san who
could comment on how important is this feature nowadays.
