Edit emboss feature failed

I am trying to emboss this geometry over the 3D model of a bottle. Every single letter embosses perfectly, but when I include the big letter T, this error shows up. I sincerely do not know what could be happening.

- Issues importing (embosses/logos, etc.) from AutoCAD into Inventor sketch:
Try Copying to Clipboard from AutoCAD, then doing a simple right-click "Paste" in the Inventor Sketch.
Things to watch out for when importing from AutoCAD into Inventor:
1) Deleting proxy blocks/info from an AutoCAD drawing:

https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-forum/how-to-get-rid-of-proxy-objects-in-an-autocad-drawing/m...
2) Imported AutoCAD polylines bring in many curved sections into Inventor: to remove those, select the Polylines/Curves in ACAD and type PE > Decurve.
3) Very complex AutoCAD profiles may fail to extrude: zoom into corners to fix some of them, but ultimately, In ACAD use the command "PEDIT > M (multiple) > JOIN > JOINTYPE > BOTH > 1.0 (fuzz distance)". Afterwards, trim any flying edges across the profile.

Using the Divide and Conquer method we find that there is an opening in the profile here...

Also, there are double lines (lines on top of each other).

What can be done to fix it? Just close the loop? Take into account that for embossing, I am projecting the geometry into a new sketch on the work plane.

You can delete the problem curve in Sketch10 (the projection one) and replace it with a similar arc:

Attached example of how that works (Inv. 2024 format):
