You are right, perhaps I jumped to a wrong conclusion, but it seemed to
me the simplest explanatation. Perhaps my bug report (I still think it
is a bug) should be renamed to "Emacs doesn't find font for some
characters".

I didn't told because I expected the font to be found automatically.

In an additional experiment I just used `S-down-mouse-1’ and selected
the font from the list.

Please note that vim (installed especially for testing) finds the font
automatically and displays the characters correctly.
