Hi,

I just tried this as well with a font that has character #120590. The PDF output prints a square as if to indicate that the glyph isn't available. When I replace 120590 in the source with 64 (the number for the @ symbol) it works fine.

I created a table (and used asciidoctor-pdf to turn it into a pdf file) showing a whole range of glyphs:


All but a few of the glyphs in the table above are available in the font that I use.

When looking at a lower range (1748 - 1915), I found that the table is representative of the glyphs that are in the font:


Perhaps this helps someone in troubleshooting.

Version information:
