    Thanks guys. On the android device on which the bug is appear, no any font contains the required characters.

    I'll have to use the icon, as I wrote @ekkescorner. The main reason why I don't want to do this is that the character approach has already been tested on different platforms and devices. But there seems to be no other way out.

    you can always ship a font with your application, one that has the characters, and load the font manually via
    QFontDatabase::addApplicationFont QWidget
    or FontLoader component in QML

    Q: What's that?
    A: It's blue light.
    Q: What does it do?
    A: It turns blue.

      @J-Hilk Thanks. Which approach do you think would be better?

        @Bleach They are equivalent, but since you're using QML, I would suggest the FontLoader
        https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qml-qtquick-fontloader.html#details


        the docs show a website as source, you can just as well pass it an url that points to your resource system, and a ttf file in there

          I prefer define myself the used fonts, so I am sure App looks same on every device.
          I do something like this:

          int main(int argc, char *argv[])
          {
              QGuiApplication app(argc, argv);
          
              const QString fontFilename(QStringLiteral("Resources/fonts/GOTHIC.TTF"));
              QString fontFamily(QStringLiteral("Century Gothic"));
              if(QFileInfo::exists(fontFilename))
              {
                   int fontId = QFontDatabase::addApplicationFont(fontFilename);
                   fontFamily = QFontDatabase::applicationFontFamilies(fontId).first();
                   QFontDatabase::addApplicationFont("Resources/fonts/GOTHICB.TTF");
                   QFontDatabase::addApplicationFont("Resources/fonts/GOTHICBI.TTF");
                   QFontDatabase::addApplicationFont("Resources/fonts/GOTHICI.TTF");
               }
               // update default font
               QFont defaultFont = app.font();
               defaultFont.setFamily(fontFamily);
               app.setFont(defaultFont);
          
               ...
               return app.exec();
          }

                  too bad :(
                  Do you have checked QFontDatabase::addApplicationFont() return value?
                  -1 is returned in case of error (cf. https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qfontdatabase.html#addApplicationFont)

                    Yes, it return positive value. And besides, the app font has changed to what I added.

                    UPD. Same issue on Android 10 (both case - default font and loaded by myself OpenSans).

                      Strange, I can not explain this behavior. Perhaps you should use pictures or try with fontawesome?

                        @Bleach FWIW, my Android phone (10) displays an appropriate icon for \u2630.

                          If it doesn't work with fonts, then I'll do it.

                          @LorenDB . Could you please send me your StackView sample apk? Ill try to deploy it on problem devices.

                          I reproduce this bug from Linux host. Prev tests was from Win 10.
                          Now this looks like a problem with the devices OS. But it is very strange that with two at once..
