Example URL:
https://jsfiddle.net/ezy9sx7a/

Steps to reproduce the problem:
Initially reported against VSCode (https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/5696)

1. Open attached HTML file or jsfiddle URL
2. Observe block squares.
3. There seems to be no way to workaround this, regardless of any CSS font-family I have tried.

What is the expected behavior?
You should get to see these cool looking runic letters.
I have tried both the HTML and the jsfiddle URL in Edge and the characters show there.

What went wrong?
Chrome shows boxes.

Does it occur on multiple sites: Yes

Is it a problem with a plugin? No 

Did this work before? N/A 

Does this work in other browsers? Yes 

Chrome version: 50.0.2661.87  Channel: stable
OS Version: 10.0
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 21.0 r0

I have found a similar issue, https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=264195 with a fix that mentions "This CL makes unicode blocks categorized as Runic, Dingbats, general punctuation, miscellaneous symbols, and supplemental mathematical operators be rendered by Segoe UI Symbol on Windows."

But somehow that fix does not help in this case.
