Ah, I was worried this might be a new bug but it appears to be just that the font used for the input box isn't supporting the character set. I'm gonna have to give this some thought since it would involve touching some of the more primitive parts of the feature set, but I do know it would be a quality-of-life improvement for a number of users.
Good news! This turned out to be an easier fix than I anticipated.
