    What symbols, which fonts?

    Can you provide a screenshot?

    If your talking about the Symbol font, then that's a photoshop bug on the windows side.

    Until it gets fixed you can use the Window>Glyphs panel to insert the right characters.

    Illustrator has a Symbols panel; Photoshop does not. Can you show a screenshot so we can see what you mean by "symbols" so we can better assist?

    in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

     

    p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post if it helps you get responses.
