Yes, the font is not Unicode; the font is merely the way to display a
character. The character is Ò (Unicode D2), but the Webdings font displays
it as an aeroplane rather than as a capital O with an accent on top.

The Webdings font is installed on my machine.

Unfortunately, this doesn't answer the question; why is Libre Office using
the wrong character for the font?

I saw those, but none of them is the Webdings font. On reading your reply, I
tried adding those fonts to the /usr/share/fonts folder, but after
refreshing the font cache, it still made no difference.

There is definitely something odd happening, and I can't figure out what it
is.
