Additional context

This looks like a bug that has to do with text encoding. It might be specific to the language of the source document, specific to Windows or both.

What language is Windows displaying?
What language does LibreOffice display when you open LibreOffice Writer?
Could you please upload a document with characters that would get imported incorrectly?

I've seen this from several word processing files (pdf the worst). With all the fonts out there, some may not have equivalent characters/glyphs also. You could try copy/paste without formatting to see if that works.

@videosmith Have you had this issue on Linux?

@Liebeg Could you prepare a list of all the glyphs that have caused this issue for you? (If Videosmith's hypothesis is correct then, there could be endless glyphs with this problem and covering them all is impossible. So it's really a matter of supplying all the glyphs used in the languages users prompt in.

Yes, seems to be an issue with the source document. Although I get most in Word format, many are exports from whatever app the client uses... Powerpoint, Keynote, Google meetings, PDF files... difficult to pinpoint since I'm not given the source documents. I will attempt to locate an old one and upload.
