Character omitted by Trados (Edo)

Question

We are working on a document (InDesign) with the language combination English-Edo (Nigerian). The translator has worked with an external file for review. When importing this file one character used in the Edo-alphabet (old italic letter ku / U+10312) is omitted. The character is present in the Word-file. Copy pasting the letter into Trados results in a small box-character being displayed. Font mapping with an alternative font has been enable, but doesn't have any effect. What could be the cause?

Hi Marta, 
 
Maybe you made the font mapping change after the project was created already, or maybe you made the change in a project template that is not being used for this project, or maybe you changed the wrong filetype? Try the following: 
 
1. Make sure the font you need is available on your system 
2. Enable font mapping for the appropriate language in the appropriate filetype in File -> Options 
3. Open the file for translation using the "Translate Single Document" approach 
 
Did this work?
