Issue

When using a CangJie typing tutor that allows selection of displayed fonts, I discovered that the character displayed for +U55F6 (嗶) came out with a significant difference in comparison with all other fonts. Where the character normally displays a 田 on the top right side, the Noto Serif CJK TC font displays a 曰in its place. Since I am not a native Chinese speaker, I did some research and asked around, but no person recognized the character displayed in the Noto Seric CJK TC font as a proper representation of the charact 嗶. I used Libre Office Writer, and the same result occurred. In my computer at home, which seems to have an older version of the font, this change from a 田 to a 曰 does not occur.

I will close by stating that I am neither a Linux or computer expert or a Chinese expert. But I do believe I have stumbled upon an issue that needs to be explained or resolved. Since I don't normally make submissions of this kind, please overlook things I may not have included in my description. If there is any additional data I can provide, please feel free to instruct me.

Your font is outdated. This has been reported in https://github.com/adobe-fonts/source-han-serif/issues/155 and fixed in version 2.003: https://github.com/adobe-fonts/source-han-serif/releases/tag/2.003R:

Fixed missing stroke on uni55F6-TW 嗶 and uni6EED-TW 滭 per https://github.com/adobe-fonts/source-han-serif/issues/155 image

Also note that the SC/CN form you had there is actually HK. You should check your installation.

NightFurySL2001, I'm grateful for your explanation. I tried to do a search for this but found no matches. Is han-serif different from Noto Serif?

NightFurySL2001 commented 3 weeks ago

Not sure what you meant by search, but Source Han Serif is the same as Noto Serif CJK or the individual JP/KR/SC/TC/HK except for the branding name. This repo has already updated Serif to v2.003 too at the Release page.
