The Unicode look of disapproval no longer displays correctly in 16.04 - how do I fix this?

Question

The Unicode look of disapproval no longer displays correctly within Chrome and Firefox in Ubuntu 16.04:

As you can see, the Unicode replacement character is shown instead of the correct symbol. This was working fine in 15.04 - what do I need to do to get this fixed?

The Unicode Look of Disapproval (U0CA0) uses the letter ttha from the Kannada language.

You can sudo apt install fonts-lohit-knda to provide the correct font.

You can then insert the character with Ctrl+Shift+U, then 0CA0
