Unicode in Firefox and Torbrowser
by Michael Uplawski from LinuxQuestions.org on (#504NX)
I observe a problem in Tor Browser 9.0.5, based on Firefox 68.5, where special Unicode-characters are not recognized as they are in Firefox 68.5.
Here, it is the symbol U+2BC8 (a) which causes problems. The screen shots document the error in an authentic html-page.
If you know something, thank you for sharing. Otherwise, I will just remove those Unicode characters which are not correctly rendered.
Font whitelisting does not appear in my about:config, but anyway, if the symbol in question is not part of a font, I would not understand what whitelisting could do... So basically, there is a lack of knowledge on my side and probably not a real misbehavior of Tor Browser.
