Description: Version is 7.2.4.1 which is not in version list below. Word document containing text with bullet point characters that has, presumably, been copied/pasted from elsewhere. Bullets appear correctly in Word but in Writer they show as 3517 (which I assume is the UTF8 code for the offending character). Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open attached document in Writer 2. Error is immediately visible 3. Compare with how it appears in Word for verification Actual Results: 35 17 Expected Results: Bullet symbol Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: Version: 7.2.4.1 (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 27d75539669ac387bb498e35313b970b7fe9c4f9 CPU threads: 16; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19044; UI render: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: win Locale: en-GB (en_GB); UI: en-GB Calc: CL

Clock in 5.4.0.4 square (empty symbol) in 4.4.7.2 3517 in 3.5.7.2 I somewhat recalling having seen such a report before
In MS Word 2003, I pressed "Alt-X" after the bullet, and it returned U+F0B7 which is a PUA (private use area). The bullet is using the Symbol font. <w:rFonts w:ascii="Times New Roman" w:eastAsia="Times New Roman" w:hAnsi="Symbol" w:cs="Times New Roman"/>
LO shows v bullet symbols in Version: 7.5.0.0.alpha1+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 5b18eebc2c95321ce7e6edf10f4df81557382a48 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: win Locale: ru-RU (ru_RU); UI: ru-RU Calc: threaded and it's a good news. But the bad news here is it is still not the same bullet items as should be...
This is just a typed bullet - not connected with lists/numbering. In 7.6+, on Ubuntu without a Symbol font, my computer is just using the paragraph's direct formatting of Times New Roman to display the character (and it is not seen as a bullet). This is basically a WONTFIX. By definition, a PUA character is a non-standard character (Personal Use Area). It is a space for a font to put whatever they want. In other words, if you don't have that specific font available, you can't see the intended result. A document should never use a PUA character unless the audience for the document is 100% controlled - guaranteed forever to have the required font. A document should never use a PUA character when there is an adequate, standard Unicode alternative (and there are many bullet characters to chose from).
