Bug description:
When compiling locally the PDFs (see https://github.com/python/docsbuild-scripts/issues/187#issuecomment-2373608230) for documentation a number of missing characters are reported.
howto-unicode.log:Missing character: There is no ♞ (U+265E) in font [FreeMono.otf]/OT:script=latn
howto-unicode.log:Missing character: There is no ♟ (U+265F) in font [FreeMono.otf]/OT:script=latn
howto-unicode.log:Missing character: There is no 😀 (U+1F600) in font [FreeMono.otf]/OT:script=lat
howto-unicode.log:Missing character: There is no 😉 (U+1F609) in font [FreeMono.otf]/OT:script=lat
library.log:Missing character: There is no ٤ (U+0664) in font [FreeMonoOblique.otf]/OT:scri
library.log:Missing character: There is no ௪ (U+0BEA) in font [FreeMonoOblique.otf]/OT:scri
library.log:Missing character: There is no ౪ (U+0C6A) in font [FreeMonoOblique.otf]/OT:scri
library.log:Missing character: There is no ໔ (U+0ED4) in font [FreeMonoOblique.otf]/OT:scri
tutorial.log:Missing character: There is no 景 (U+666F) in font [FreeMono.otf]/OT:script=latn
tutorial.log:Missing character: There is no 太 (U+592A) in font [FreeMono.otf]/OT:script=latn
tutorial.log:Missing character: There is no 郎 (U+90CE) in font [FreeMono.otf]/OT:script=latn
This means that the respective PDFs are missing the glyphs. The build was done using the French locale, but a previous build in English of the sole library.pdf reported a number of those already (those lines above from library.log).

Research direction
Start by reproducing the PDF build in the French and English locales and inspect howto-unicode.log, library.log, and tutorial.log for the reported missing glyphs. Done means the affected PDFs contain those characters and the build no longer reports the corresponding missing-character messages.
