Just an update here - my 10.11 box does happily display all three 
characters as needed in LiveCode and other apps. When I initially 
installed the devawriter font which was supplied, it must not have 
installed it properly (I think I might have had an old version 
installed). After removing 'Devawriter' completely (using Font Book) and 
then reinstalling (by double clicking the latest version) - I get all 
codepoints appearing as expected.

Warmest Regards,

Mark.
