Description

**Describe the issue**
On my website, I use Playfair Display with Google Fonts. When I insert an arrow, it doesn't display the Playfair Display arrow but a generic web safe font arrow.

**To Reproduce**
Insert an arrow → with Playfair Display.

**Expected behavior**
The arrow should be in Playfair Display

**Additional context**
It is also the case on the Google Fonts website. In the index, the Playfair Display arrow is correctly displayed, but on the Playfair Display page, the arrow glyph is missing. This is also the case for other fonts that have an arrow glyph.
