See:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/issues/1597 Basically, because GTK now uses quite obscure unicode character that is missing from a lot of font packages, it will fallback to the wrong character and not display correctly. Arch package should probably add a font that provides this character (U+2B58 HEAVY CIRCLE) as a dependency. Personally I could not find a font package that provides this character in official repositories, but ttf-symbola from AUR does. |
This task depends upon

There aren't many fonts that do provide these glyphs. Symbola is one of them but its license doesn't allow redistribution.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/commit/ed39721aa7435860f46da69998cf6cac4ae7e735 is in 3.24.4-1
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/61526#comment176683 covers commits that will add the symbols to gtk3 itself.
