            Bug ID: 140648
           Summary: Bullet dialogs convert non-opensymbol supported bullet
                    symbols to U+FFFD, can't use things like emojis (Noto
                    Color Emoji font for example)
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.4.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: grin at grin.hu

Description:
Can't use a character for bullet despite matching Character, Numbering and
Paragraph styles. 

May be vaguely related to already many years old issues like bug#77743  or
bug#112019 


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a Character Style for Emoji (Noto Color Emoji font, for example)
2. Create a Numbering Style for Emoji bullets using #1 Char Style, select
character using the Emoji font and search (example was: "run" - running man)
3. Create a Paragraph style using #2 Num Style.
4. Try to apply it and see failing.


Actual Results:
Even at step 2 you will see that the glyph gets converted to Unknown Glyph
(U+FFFD). This is the same you'll see at the end. 
While the bullets seem to use random/default font (in the final doc) it does
not matter: manually hacking it into the Noto Emoji shows U+FFFD either.

Expected Results:
Showing the actual character in the actual chosen character set as bullets.



Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
