Non-Latin character sets not displaying properly

[genoux]

---

Description of the issue: Certain alphabets and syllabaries, specifically those of more historical or anthropological rarity and whose UTFs are unknown to me, are not rendering properly on webpages I encounter them on. Of the provided site, for example, the Edomite, Akkadian, and Syriac scripts depicting the kingdom’s name are the telltale blank squares of a missing character encoding set.

Exact URL of the website in question: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edom

Did the issue present with default Shields settings? (yes/no) Yes.

Does the site function as expected when Shields are turned off? No.

Is there a specific Shields configuration that causes the site to break? If so, tell us that configuration. (yes/no): No.

Does the site work as expected when using Chrome? Unknown.

Brave version (check About Brave): Version 0.69.135 Chromium: 77.0.3865.120 (Official Build) (64-bit)

@genoux,
Can you share a screenshot of the characters you’re describing as they appear on your end?

@genoux,
Thanks for the screen shot – can you also tell me what OS you’re using?

I’m using macOS, specifically Mojave version 10.14.6.

@genoux,
Can you check and see if you’re able to view these characters normally when using a different browser?
Preferably a Chromium based browser, if possible (Chrome, Vivaldi, Opera).
