Windows 10 uses U+2236 RATIO as the time separator, so adding it to Roboto would fix that issue.

W.r.t. the media player buttons, that is not a Roboto bug—the system should map the correct PUA characters regardless of the font, or switch to a different rendering mechanism that doesn’t rely on fonts, but you should contact Microsoft for that.

@fitojb And how can I do that?

The Windows Insider program has a feedback application you can use to send bug reports to Microsoft.
