But Courier New cannot display the character that you're trying to insert.
For example, after emacs -Q, doing C-x 8 <RET> 960 <RET> I get this
character:

             position: 192 of 192 (99%), column: 0
            character: ॠ (displayed as ॠ) (codepoint 2400, #o4540, #x960)
    preferred charset: unicode (Unicode (ISO10646))
code point in charset: 0x0960
               script: devanagari
               syntax: w which means: word
             category: .:Base, L:Left-to-right (strong), i:Indian
             to input: type "C-x 8 RET 960" or "C-x 8 RET DEVANAGARI LETTER
VOCALIC RR"
          buffer code: #xE0 #xA5 #xA0
            file code: not encodable by coding system iso-latin-1-dos
              display: by this font (glyph code)
    uniscribe:-outline-Nirmala

Character code properties: customize what to show
  name: DEVANAGARI LETTER VOCALIC RR

  decomposition: (2400) ('ॠ')

There are text properties here:
