Created attachment 112501 [details] left wayland - right xcb See attachment, on xcb it looked alright, on wayland.
Created attachment 112502 [details] scaling the text makes the issue more obvious
I can't reproduce this with Qt 5.12.1 and konsole version 18.12.1. Does setting or clearing QT_WAYLAND_FORCE_DPI do any difference for you (try setting it to 96 or physical)?

Weird. Can you try running the following in qmlscene? import QtQuick 2.6 Column { TextEdit { id: size text: "32" } Text { font.pixelSize: size.text text: "Smileys Symbols ㋡ ㋛ ☺ ☹ ☻ 〠 シ ッ ツ ヅ Ü 〲 〴 ϡ ﭢ ت ⍡ ⍢ ⍣ ⍤ ⍥ ⍨ ⍩ ὃ ὕ ὣ Ѷ Ӫ ӫ " } Text { font.pointSize: size.text text: "Smileys Symbols ㋡ ㋛ ☺ ☹ ☻ 〠 シ ッ ツ ヅ Ü 〲 〴 ϡ ﭢ ت ⍡ ⍢ ⍣ ⍤ ⍥ ⍨ ⍩ ὃ ὕ ὣ Ѷ Ӫ ӫ " } }

So likely either a Qt bug and/or something weird with your fontconfig... It works on X? Could you file a bug at bugreports.qt.io?
