Looks like a missing font problem at first glance. If you don’t have
“ariesSCB” then you’re only getting characters from Symbol and Zapf
Dingbats.
Symbol contains “9”, “.”, and “!” in the expected places[1]. I guess
modern systems “know” what Unicode characters are in a font and you
don’t get ≅ or ✠ for “A” because neither of those is an “A” even though
it’s ostensibly at code point 0x41 in Symbol and Zapf Dingbats,
respectively.
Be seeing you,
