That's certainly a possibility. Changes can happen to a document when any software converts something from a Doc to a PDF. I reckon this needs a bit more investigation to establish exactly what causes those particular symbols to disappear. First off, if you're an Approved Support Contact (ASC), I'd raise a support case to ask this question. To save time, include the org unit / course offering, a link to the assignment in question, and the name of the student whose submission is affected. It would also be useful to know what software they used to write the assignment. Was it in Word for Mac, or Pages, for instance? In the meantime, you might want to use a test account on your site to try and replicate it. If you create a word doc with those symbols, does the same thing happen? How about if you do so from a Mac? Hope that helps.
Thank you so much Olly! I did end up creating a ticket; in the meantime, my research showed that it might depend on the type of a checkmark. If it's inserted through the Developer, it will be lost in this Word to PDF Inline Feedback transition.
Thank you so much once again, and have a wonderful rest of your week!
