Resolution note
This report was closed as "Invalid" because the affected characters are the ones from the assets/minecraft/textures/font/ascii.png file.
The problem that the other unicode characters like "³" are not that big might be MC-2488.
Many unicode characters appear as bold even there would be a way to create them with a normal font size.
This seems to affect only the "ascii.png"
Examples:
- ² (there is already a report about that, but I can't find it; also ³ is not bold)
- ÷
- ≤ and ≥ (well maybe with a normal font size they would look strange)
- √
- Σ
- °
- ∞
- ∩
- ∈
- ∅
- ± (but ∓ isn't like this)
and probably many more
Some that are also "messed up":
- \u00aa -> ª
- \u00ae -> ®
- \u00bc -> ½
- \u00bd -> ¾
- \u00f8 -> ø
These are too big. They do not appear bold but you cannot read them
How to reproduce: (from kumasasa's comment)

All of these characters have a bold form, but this form is very hard to differentiate from the normal form or you cannot really read it anymore.
I am sorry if this report is invalid because these characters are made like this to differentiate from other characters
