Is your issue REALLY a bug?

[x] My issue is indeed a bug!
[x] I am not crazy! I will not fill out this form just to ask a question or request a feature. Pinky promise.

Is there an existing issue for this?

[x] I have searched the existing issues.

Is this issue related to iced?

[x] My hardware is compatible and my graphics drivers are up-to-date.

What happened?

I went on Windows and a character that was a chess pawn on Linux showed up as a square. If this is unavoidable, it would be nice to have directions somewhere on how to make the chess piece show as a chess piece. Various other symbols don't work on Windows and some don't work on Linux. It would be nice to know how to get support.

What is the expected behavior?

I expected to see a chess pawn.

Version

crates.io release

Operating System

Windows

Do you have any log output?

It works, thanks! The only problem is now it is not mono-spaced.

I set the height and width of the widget and that works!
