Description

@vv-monsalve reported this issue in the Tiro Indic (Indigo project) repo:

[Tofu in Google Fonts preview](https://github.com/TiroTypeworks/Indigo/issues/70)

I have investigated, and it seems to be a problem on the Google Fonts site, not in the fonts. This unsupported character indicator — which is not the .notdef glyph from the Tiro fonts — is _sometimes_ being inserted in sample strings at word space boundaries.

But then disappears when the text string is clicked on:
