Colon missing in Windows system clock #82

Hi,

I've set Jost as default font in Windows 10 (https://www.windowscentral.com/how-change-default-system-font-windows-10). But the Windows clock does not show the colon. Maybe Windows does not use the default colon for this:
jost-clock

To add some more: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/forum/insider_wintp-insider_desktop-insiderplat_pc/strange-character-in-time-where-colon-is-supposed/941aff23-e415-47ed-9b30-848a183786c8?page=1

The clock, I believe, uses the ratio character U+2236 (∶) instead of the colon: (:)

The ratio character is more centered in the numbers, 7∶36 vs the colon 7:36, which looks like it's sagging. Like what a digital clock LCD would display.

I'd bet your font is missing U+2236. If you chose a font with that character, or used the default font, then this would probably behave.

I did not find a definitive answer, which character is used there, yet.
