Deactivate emoji style - reactivate text style

[marcusman]

Hello,

I’m having a problem with a symbol that I want to render with the Liberation Sans Font.
Previously, the symbol was rendered as usual, like all the other letters (“text style”).
Currently, the symbol is being rendered as a big fat comic-like emoji (“emoji style”).
I want to render that symbol in the old style (“text style”).
How can I achieve this, in particular using LibreOffice Writer.

I want this:
That’s what I get:

Hello,

from my perspective font Liberation Sans does not contain character U+2694 and thus LibreOffice makes a replacement from another font. Try font DejaVu Sans Mono and you should get what you are looking for.

Background: Not all fonts contain all characters and to circumvent the situation of a missing character in a font given, Libreoffice replaces the missing characters from a similar font (which isn’t always a perfect replacement). You may check whether a font contains a special Unicode character in dialog Insert -> Special Character and by selcting the Font and entering the Unicode under Hexadecimal.

Hope that helps.
