Unicode Characters/Symbols no longer displaying in Photoshop

[ikk200]

I have been a long-term user of Adobe Products for many years. I have always been able to copy/paste sentences into Photoshop which contained Unicode characters.

However, now with the latest version of Photoshop, I'm unable to do so. It just displays a blank square with an "x" inside of it. 

This never used to happen, it would always display correctly & work regardless of font. I have tried using fonts which I know for sure used to work, but now they dont - they now display the square/x too.

I have opened old files from before, and they are displaying correctly (but if I try paste the symbol into them old files now it doesn't work).

I have tried pasting the sentences with symbols into a Word document using various fonts and they all work fine and display fine. It's only Photoshop being fussy!

I have attached some screenshots which you may find useful. Is this a bug with the new versions of Photoshop? I remember being able to copy/paste without an issue in versions 15, 16, 17 & 18.

Kind regards.

What version of windows are you using?

Could you give examples of the font nanes so we can try on our end?

The only kind of font that Adobe has recently dropped support for is Type 1 fonts as announced here:

I'm using Windows 10 Home, Version 2004. Some examples of fonts are Lora & Bebas. 

The Unicode symbol is this: U+FDFA
