The fishhook is not showing when I view this page with either Mozilla Firefox 121.0, Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge on Microsoft Windows 11. In the current version, the character is displayed 7 times. In 2 of the most important instances, the fishhook is missing. The biggest occurrence, to the right, is thankfully OK since it is an image. It seems that both occurrences which use Arial are broken. In these, it displays as as some "small letter r with fishhook" without a fishhook (which is not quite an r, but very close). Occurrences without problems are using Times New Roman, an SVG and DejaVu Sans.

If I do a test in LibreOffice, I can see that Liberation Serif is also fine. The Arial version is also missing the fishhook in LibreOffice.

Fishhook missing/invisible

Greetings User:Vladisdead, The fishhook is not showing when I view this page with either Mozilla Firefox 121.0, Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge on Microsoft Windows 11. In the current version, the character is displayed 7 times. In 2 of the most important instances, the fishhook is missing. The biggest occurrence, to the right, is thankfully OK since it is an image. It seems that both occurrences which use Arial are broken. In these, it displays as as some "small letter r with fishhook" without a fishhook (which is not quite an r, but very close), as can be seen on Charbase. Occurrences without problems are using Times New Roman, an SVG and DejaVu Sans.

If I do a test in LibreOffice, I can see that Liberation Serif is also fine. The Arial version is also missing the fishhook in LibreOffice.

Does that mean Arial's SMALL LETTER R WITH FISHHOOK is broken? If that's the case, FileFormat.Info's comparison suggests that's the case for a considerable share of fonts, including:

  • Arial (all variants)
  • Arimo (all variants)
  • Calibri (all variants)
  • Consolas (all variants)
  • Cousine (all variants)
  • FreeSans (all variants)
  • Times New Roman Italique
