Description
simple Form without database access that contains only one text object. 
If we add the characters ᴈᴙᴛᴭᴽᴟ into this 

text object only blank squares will be shown:
□□□□□□ 

If we now append the character ฿ ("Thai currency symbol baht"; Unicode 
Code Point 0E3F)  the output will be shown correctly :

ᴈᴙᴛᴭᴽᴟ฿

On windows, looks like thai characters which are not getting rendered properly, lies in font exclusion range. These exclusions are mentioned in fontconfig.properties file. The other scenario mentioned in the above example where 'baht' character is added then these characters render properly. In this case actually font exclusion is not coming into the flow.

This issue is only reproducible on Windows and not reproducible on Mac and Ubuntu. The same issue could be seen in JTextArea, and JLabel as well. JFrame title is showing the the text correctly.
