Description

#184646 and similar issues can only exist because there is no test for printing these characters, which in addition to not existing is also then not run on the web platform.

(I'm submitting a PR to add a test, and the PR checklist says the PR needs to "fix" an issue, not just add tests that might reveal an issue, so I'm making an issue for how the tests don't exist yet.)
