When an shx font is used in a dwg and a character doesn't exist in the shx font, a '?' will be shown for that character. And, if a TrueType font is used that doesn't match the font used in the dgn, then whatever is at that location in the TrueType font used in the dwg will be displayed when the dwg file is opened - in this case a Latin lowercase f.
