Most of the characters, actually, and even when they're present in font (Consolas).
Regular Windows Notepad, in comparison, displays them all fine.

Before you ask, the encoding is set to UTF-8.

Possibly duplicated by #1621.
Adding a character which causes the ones in front of them to render, like ⿰ behind everyone of the mentioned character shows them

I believe this issue has been fixed since long time ago.
Update your Notepad++ to the latest version (v7.6.6).
If the issue persists, please create a new issue for it.
Thank you.
