Description Guillaume Poirier-Morency 2020-03-15 21:09:07 UTC 
Description of problem:

The glyph for the Unicode "square four dot" character is incorrect.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

I think this problem arose when upgrading from Fedora 30 to Fedora 31.


How reproducible:

The simplest way is to start GNOME Characters Map and search for "square four dot".

Sorry, I only find "Squared Four Dot Punctuation" in gucharmap.

Could you provide some screenshot of gucharmap?

I think that it is a font issue.

$ fc-match :charset=0x2e2c
FreeSans.ttf: "FreeSans" "Regular"

You're right, the character is named "Squared Four Dot Punctuation".
Comment 5 Gwyn Ciesla 2020-03-16 15:17:43 UTC 
It appears correct to me on Fedora 31. Can you reinstall the gnu-free-sans-fonts package?
Comment 6 Parag Nemade 2020-09-23 09:31:05 UTC 
This is indeed a bug in the font file /usr/share/fonts/gnu-free/FreeSans.ttf
See https://unicode.org/charts/PDF/U2E00.pdf It appears this font got incorrect mapping for U+2E2A to U+2E2D, 4 character glyphs got wrong assignment.
Comment 7 Ben Cotton 2021-02-09 16:20:19 UTC 
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 34 development cycle.
Changing version to 34.
Comment 8 Parag Nemade 2022-04-04 05:21:43 UTC 
I will take this bug to fix in F36+
