  • Noto mikssing characters

    I am getting missing character errors using Google's Noto fonts:

    There is no rEu (U+2423) in font [NotoSansMono-CondensedMedium.ttf]
    There is no rui (U+25A1) in font [NotoSansMono-CondensedMedium.ttf]

    The first is the open-topped box, often used in documentation to signify
    a visible space (which would of course otherwise be an actual space, and therefore invisible); the second is the empty square box, often used to signify a missing character (somewhat ironic :-).

    Has anyone else found this, or have a solution/suggestion?
