These errors were much more common before Unicode encodings were in broad use.
Unicode pretty much solved this.

Still happens for new emoji on old OSs, or just missing characters in the font being used.

No it hasn't. It has just pushed them out of sight for English natives.

Can't confirm that. In the 90s encodings were a nightmare. ISO-8859-1, ISO-8859-15, CP1252, IBM850, ...
If you tried to build a website with an upload form, you'd get the most bizarre encodings and there was no way to reliably distinguish them.
I'm not an English native, my world is full of umlauts and s-z ligatures. Things got A LOT better in the last years, thanks to Unicode encodings.
