Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; Win64; rv:64.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/64.0 Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Open an about:blank page 2. Edit the HTML to add a title tag with the arrow character, like so: "<title>➹</title>" 3. Hover over the tab until the tooltip appears, and observe both the tab title and the tooltip. What is the expected behavior? The ➹ character should display in the tooltip on hover What went wrong? Rather than correctly displaying the character, a placeholder box is shown, indicating that it is unable to display that character Did this work before? N/A Chrome version: 70.0.3538.77 Channel: stable OS Version: 6.3 Flash Version: 31.0.0.122 I am unsure which characters are affected, but it's likely that other characters will have the same problem. I've also tested with some characters such as ü and 》, however they do not have the same problem.

After some further investigation with help from a friend, this appears to be some form of regression, possibly due to operating system changes. Below is a list of the OS/Chrome pairs that either had the issue or didn't: Windows 10 Education 17134.345 (1803) with Chrome 67.0.3396.87 (32-bit): Issue not present Windows 10 Pro 10586.1176 (1511) with Chrome 70.0.3538.77 (64-bit): Issue not present Windows 7 (unknown build) with Chrome 70.0.3538.77 (64-bit): Issue not present Windows 10 Pro 17763.55 (1809) with Chrome 70.0.3538.77 (64-bit): Issue present, this is the device with the original issue Windows 10 Enterprise 17763.55 (1809) with Chrome 70.0.3538.77 (64-bit): Issue present So far, the only devices with issues are the devices running the latest Chrome and Windows 10 version 1809, and all older Windows versions seem to work fine. I would hesitate to say this might be some change or bug in Windows, could someone test on the latest insider build for 1809 since it's paused? I've attached a file for testing. The issue occurs both with a <meta charset> tag present and without. Other browsers have some interesting effects on Windows 10 Pro 17763.55 that may or may not be related: - Firefox 63.0 seems to experience an issue where it will display some garbled characters in the tab title rather than the arrow if the <meta charset> tag is not present. - Edge does not have any of the issues present.

Unable to reproduce the issue on reported chrome version 70.0.3538.77 using Windows 10 Surface Pro(1803) with the below mentioned steps. 1. Launched Chrome 2. Opened arrow_character.html in a new tab. 3. Hovered over ➹ character. ➹ rendered properly upon hovering without any issues. Attaching the screenshot of the same for reference. @Reporter: As it is mentioned in comment#3, that this might be caused due to windows update. In such case could you please let us know if this can be closed(...as this isn't caused by chrome). Any further inputs from your end may be helpful.

I have repro on the 2018-11 Windows Cumulative update for 1809 and the results from @Vamshi seem consistent with the belief that this is an OS issue on versions <1809, so I'll reach out and file a bug in Windows. This issue can be closed.
