The reason is that one of the characters exists in Lucida Grande font, and another doesn't, so it comes from a different font.

The most straightforward way to fix this bug would be to add BLACK LEFT-POINTING POINTER to Lucida Grande. Please file a bug for Apple via <http://bugreport.apple.com> about that.

That said, perhaps WebKit could be smarter about choosing font fallback within text runs (neither character exists in the default Times, but they both exist in many fonts present on Mac OS X, just not in Lucida Grande).
