Select any character font in Windows 7 Character Map and copy some symbols. Paste them into Writer. Only some characters will be pasted correctly. The letters will be pasted for the others, instead of U+F0xx symbol characters.
I cannot reproduce the problem, it works for me. Please tell, what font do you use. U+F0xx is the "personal range" and not standardized, therefore the font is essential. And please tell, whether do you insert it as "Formatted text [RTF]" or as "Unformatted text", and whether the same font is set for these characters in LibreOffice.
U+F0xx is the internal representation of symbol characters, as you should have known as a QA. Copy 5 characters starting from 0xC6 from 'Symbol' font. Paste them into Writer. 'ÆÇÈÉÊ' are inserted instead.
The Private Use Area has Range: E000-F8FF, see http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/UE000.pdf When you paste the characters you must ensure, that the font "Symbol" is used. You can do this by inserting as "Formatted text [RTF]" or by assigning the font directly later on. Works for me.
Same behavior confirmed with Windows 8.1. Reopening. Regina: learn the product you are trying to comment on. Please.

Created attachment 109962 [details] Clipboard dump I selected and copied 0xC5 symbol from Character Map (plus sign in a circle). I dumped the clipboard contents to a file. Writer cannot open this rtf file properly.
It was good in LibreOffice 3.4.6.2, mark as regression.
Bibisect range is eb847b33f7ea5b5e103886da7eb5dd1cc3061422..76fe205d7e0fe0a73616453209d8094cab9ce79f, probably my bbe3627eece0c3486e7ea11f2f13377aaa3a8fed broke this.
