PDFMaker causes Character Encoding failure
Steps to reproduce the issue:
1. Type text in any of the below affected scripts in Word:
- Devanagari
- Bengali
- Telugu
- Tamil
- Arabic
- Gujarati
- Kannada
- Malayalam
- Myanmar
- Sinhala
2. Export the document to PDF with Acrobat > Create PDF.
3. Run the Accessibility Check.
Environment (OS, other related application versions, etc.):
OS: Windows 10
Word: 2102 (Build 13801.20360)
Acrobat Pro DC: 21.001.20145
Expected result:
Characters originally encoded at valid Unicode codepoints in Word should not cause Character Encoding issues in Acrobat Pro DC's Accessibility Check.
Observed results:
Some Unicode characters in Word do not seem to be converted to the right codepoint in PDF, particularly combining characters. This causes Character Encoding failures in Accessibility Check.

Experiencing same issues - but with PDFs generated from Adobe Indesign. Have tested in varied versions, and operating systems with same results of Character Encoding failing, even though proper language supported fonts are used and installed.
