[Sovled] Cannot display unicode character in Firefox / Chrome

Hi friends,

Tried to render the character for "multiplication X" yet to no avai: https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/U+2715

Think I have supporting fonts installed:

% fc-match -s monospace:charset=0x2715
NimbusMonoPS-Regular.otf: "Nimbus Mono PS" "Regular"
wqy-zenhei.ttc: "WenQuanYi Zen Hei Mono" "Regular"
CascadiaCode.ttf: "Cascadia Code" "Regular"
CascadiaCodePL.ttf: "Cascadia Code PL" "Regular"
LiberationMono-Regular.ttf: "Liberation Mono" "Regular"
LiberationSans-Regular.ttf: "Liberation Sans" "Regular"
LiberationSerif-Regular.ttf: "Liberation Serif" "Regular"
SourceCodePro-Regular.otf: "Source Code Pro" "Regular"
D050000L.otf: "D050000L" "Regular"
Cantarell-VF.otf: "Cantarell" "Regular"
LiberationSerif-Italic.ttf: "Liberation Serif" "Italic"
NotoColorEmoji.ttf: "Noto Color Emoji" "Regular"

In firefox's font settings I have:

Proportional: Serif
Serif :  Default (Nimbus Roman)
Sans-serif: Default (Nimbus Sans)
Monospace: Default(Nimbus Mono PS)

Did I configure anything wrong?

Thanks

The resolution order doesn't tell you whether the glyph exists and it's not in NimbusMonoPS-Regular.otf
I get it from DejaVu (it's not in Source Code Pro either), so try installing the dejavu fonts.

This solved my problem, thanks!
