Here is a MWE using Libertinus Serif typeface which has the inputed glyphs but XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX both reports: "Missing character: There is no ➌ in font Libertinus Serif":

\documentclass{minimal}

\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{Libertinus Serif}

\begin{document}
This char is missing: (^^^^278d)\par
This is also missing: (^^^^278c)\par
This char is not: (^^^^24ea)\par
\end{document}

My output is:

lualatex output

And my log file reports: 

Missing character: There is no ➍ in font Libertinus Serif/OT:script=latn;language=DFLT;mapping=tex-text;!
Missing character: There is no ➌ in font Libertinus Serif/OT:script=latn;language=DFLT;mapping=tex-text;!

But, as you can see below those glyphs are present in Libertinus Serif typeface:

charmap

Any ideas what's going wrong?

    Just that the fonts don't have the glyph. No font is required to have the whole glyph set. Software that shows character tables often do font substitutions.

    Character maps are not a reliable source for the glyphs of a font, quite often the OS pulls in some other fonts to fill up the map.

  • @egreg "Software that shows character tables often do font substitutions". Sorry, I was not aware of that.

  • @UlrikeFischer Do you know any (free) reliable tool in order to check glyphs in a font?

    If you want to know if a glyph exists run for exampleotfinfo -g libertinussans-regular.otf | grep uni27. With grep uni278 you'll get no output: no glyphs from uni2780->uni278f

Use

\documentclass{minimal}

\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{Libertinus Serif}
\newfontfamily\LibSans{Libertinus Sans}

\begin{document}
    This char is present: (^^^^2779)\par
    This is also present: (^^^^277a)\par
    This char is present: (^^^^24ea)

\LibSans
    This char is present: (^^^^2779)\par
    This is also present: (^^^^277a)\par
    This char is present: (^^^^24ea)

\end{document}

  • Thanks for reporting back the correct serif dingbat codes! But I really need those sans-serif negative circled digits glyphs coded from U+278A through U+2792. Unfortunately it seems that they are not present in Libertinus Serif (or Sans). Anyway, the serif version you've posted could be an alternative to others.

  • The Sans Serif dingbats are at the same position! See edited answer

  • I meant the sans-serif version of those dingbat symbols, not the font itself. Check here that "circled sans-serif" codes follows right after the serif version. Note also that, comparing your output above, both symbols are equal (i.e. serif'ed).

  • Then simply use a font which has such symbols, eg: \newfontfamily\LibSans{ArialUnicodeMS}
