      The bug

      If no active resource pack defines a texture for a given character, it will correctly render as a rectangle, however no error will be reported in the console. This is unlike what happens for missing textures.

      Notably, the game did report these errors in 1.13 pre-releases 6 and 7, but this functionality appears to have broken in pre-release 8 onwards.

      How to reproduce

      1. Paste this character into chat: 
      2. Observe the log output

      Expected results

      Couldn't find glyph for character  (\uf8ff)

      Actual results

      No error is produced at all.

      How to fix

      Make this error show up again.
