Special unicode characters not displayed correctly in Word on some computers

I have issues with special unicode characters in Word, e.g. "☒" (9746, hex 0x2612). When pasting it or entering it with Alt+code on numpad, Word automatically changes the font to Segoe UI Symbol (Word 2016) or MS Gothic (Word 2010). This works on all machines I tried it on, ours and our client's.But what I actually want to do is to insert this character programmatically in C#. It works fine on our machines, but interestingly, the Font is NOT changed - even in Calibri, the character is displayed correctly. But on our client's machines, Word is unable to display it correctly, it just shows a question mark.

They have Word 2016 Standard, we have Word 2016 Professional. OS on our side is Windows 10, they have Windows 11 on clients and Windows Server 2022.
