Previous to the most recent update, all special characters appeared without any difficulty where I wished them to appear. Since the update, all special characters have been replaced with either a ? or a ▯, depending on which application is used. This extends to the Character Map app, which will show only some of the characters (only those represented on a U.S. keyboard) instead of all of the characters for each and every font.
