Special characters no longer appearing in windows 10

I have many apps and documents on my PC that use special characters, such as Greek letters, Cyrilic letters and Symbols in addition to the (American) English that is predominate. Previous to the most recent update, all special characters appeared without
any difficulty where I wished them to appear. Since the update, all special characters have been replaced with either a ? or a ▯, depending on which application is used. This extends to the Character Map app, which will show only some of the characters (only
those represented on a U.S. keyboard) instead of all of the characters for each and every font.

I have attempted to change the default Windows 10 font from Segoe UI to Segoe UI Symbol to solve the problem, but it seems that Segoe UI Symbol has no letters so all the text is replaced with ????????. Segoe UI has only the most common American letters
and symbols and nothing else.

This error is appearing in Word documents, Notepad documents, MP3 titles and tags, icon names, websites, and others.

How do I continue to include all the unicode symbols, especially the special characters, on my desktop and in all the apps?

Special character in password

I have set my password to a stronger password that includes letters, numbers and special characters.
I changed it from the outlook.com accounts page.

However, my windows phone has problems sync-ing. I tried to enter the password many times and it keeps stating my password is incorrect.
I tried the web version and I am able to log-in.

I read from the http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2432933?wa=wsignin1.0 that if my password contains special characters, I would have to change.
I do not mind changing it to just letters and numbers but I have a question, why does windows phone outlook not accept passwords that contain special characters??? This should be allowed for all Microsoft services including Windows Phone.
