Noto Sans Symbols is not a dingbat font so the issue won't be as apparent if
the glyph matches between fonts. But still, users might prefer one font over
the other for one particular codepoint.

My steps with a dingbat font, to make the issue more obvious:
1. Insert with special character dialog the Wingdings pencil character
(decimal: 61473).
2. Go to new paragraph, make sure it uses Liberation Serif (for example by
applying the Default Paragraph Style)
3. Open Special Character dialog, see that the Recent Characters shows the
pencil character. Click on it: the preview also shows the pencil. Click Insert.

Result: some point glyph is inserted instead (decimal: 1). The character shown
in the dialog (recent/favourite lists, preview) does not match what is
inserted.
