⯈ (level 3 fold star) doesn't display on Windows

[LukeDRussell]

Hello.

I've been experiencing an issue with the level 3 arrows, about since you changed to arrows.

I figured it was just something I was doing wrong, or it was a bug someone would report, but it's been quite a while. I've also changed (Windows) computer three times since I first noticed it.

I've disabled themes, fonts, and nerd-icons trying to find a mismatch, to no avail. I can literally copy the unicode block out of emacs and paste it into any other Windows window, and it displays the midsized arrow correctly. I can change the value of org-modern-star to 'replace to get the older bullet styles back.

I think this might be an emacs on Windows issue, but I've found a solution.

I've tried the same fonts in other apps, and they all display the medium right arrow correctly.
I followed the answer to this SO question, and have gotten a workaround.

My relavent settings below. I wouldn't be surprised if I find later that something using nerd fonts isn't displaying correctly.

(use-package emacs
  :custom
  (if (eq system-type 'windows-nt)
      (set-fontset-font t 'symbol "Segoe UI Symbol"))

I'm having the same issue on MacOS 15.5, both on Emacs (doom, ~latest, with Berkeley Mono patched with Nerd Fonts) and Chrome (see e.g. screenshot of github).

So i think those icons just missing in those fonts. so i did something like that and it did help

(set-fontset-font t 'unicode
                  (font-spec :family "Noto Sans Symbols 2")  
                  nil 'append)
