Unicode character not recognized anymore in Makie 0.24

[cyanescent]

• What version of Makie are you running? Makie v0.24.6
• What is the last Makie version this feature worked on? Makie v0.23
• can you reproduce the bug with a fresh environment ? (]activate --temp; add Makie)
• Which backend are you using? GLMakie & CairoMakie
• What platform + GPU are you on? Linux, AMD iGPU
• Please provide an minimal example of the failing code.

using GLMakie # or CairoMakie
f,ax=lines(1:10; axis=(;ylabel="＊")) # full asterisk unicode

Used to work in Makie < v0.24, now throws this error:

v0.24

julia> Makie.alternativefonts()
5-element Vector{FreeTypeAbstraction.FTFont}:
 FTFont (family = TeX Gyre Heros Makie, style = Regular)

v0.23

julia> Makie.alternativefonts()
6-element Vector{FreeTypeAbstraction.FTFont}:
 FTFont (family = TeX Gyre Heros Makie, style = Regular)
 FTFont (family = DejaVu Sans, style = Book)
 FTFont (family = Noto Sans CJK KR, style = Regular)
 FTFont (family = Noto Sans Cuneiform, style = Regular)
 FTFont (family = Noto Sans Symbols, style = Regular)
 FTFont (family = Fira Mono, style = Medium)

I guess this sign has been in Noto Sans CJK KR ?
I guess we could bring that back, now that we use the fonts via assets.
