The system font is from package fonts-font-awesome, claiming to have version 4.0.0~dfsg-1 , while the tex font is from TL15-package fontawesome, version 38051 (4.4.0) OTOH using the same system from lualatex works, so I doubt that this is the reason. ... > >> -- https://coderwall.com/p/r67dyq/using-font-awesome-with-xe-latex > > >> I am not sure whether this is a good idea, but here you are... > > > I don't understand. > > This was an aside: I don't know whether it is a good idea to create a font > with all characters in the private use area, but this is what the designers > of "Awesome" did.

OK, that looks like a good explanation. > Could you check with some font listing program or LibreOffice or similar, > whether the missing character is present in the font "as seen by the system"? Lualatex finds it, is that not evident enough?
