      Description of problem:
      We noticed some missing characters throughout the OS while browsing the web and also when using npm in GNOME Terminal.
      I was testing with both Graphical Server and Workstation installs and both show the same behavior of missing characters (showing placeholder characters).
      This was checked with a fully patched RHEL 9.0 system, with both Xorg and Wayland.
      Also further this was tested both on a hardware system with the proprietory NVIDIA driver, as well as in a VMware ESXi environment as a VM.
      For comparison I tested this on a fully patched Fedora Workstation 36 installation, which shows the characters just fine.

      How reproducible:
      always

      Steps to Reproduce:
      1. Install a Graphical Server or Workstation installation
      2. Open the browser and visit the page https://unicode-table.com/en/blocks/supplemental-punctuation

      Actual results:
      You will see many placeholder characters (please look at the attached screenshot)

      Expected results:
      All characters showing up correctly

      Additional info:
      This was initially brought to our attention in Rocky Linux 9.0,
      am also tracking this here: https://bugs.rockylinux.org/view.php?id=149

      Thank you very much for your help in advance and if any information is missing I will gladly provide it!
