    There may be two or more reasons why you are not seeing the dotted circle.
    1/ The font you use may have illegally omitted to include dotted circle within the font
    2/ The rendering engine you use may not support Unicode requirements on dotted circle
    3/ Their may be other reasons.

    Also I think that the data you received would still have code for dotted circle included within it, even though you are not able to see it.
    ie, It is not only a visible effect, but dotted circle is part of (archived) data.
