That charachter is correct, as far as the Sorts Mills Goudy font goes. It is in the phonetic code page (0293) 'small letter ezh with curl'.
Not imported from some other font.
Please, I beg to differ. Here is a screenshot of my charmap for the font (in Nexus Font, not beeing installed, I cannot use windows charmap)
Present unicode groups: Basic Latin, Latin-1 Supplement, Latin Extended-A, Latin Extended-B, Spacing Modifier Letters, Combining Diacritical Marks, General Punctuation, Currency Symbols, Mathematical Operators.
It can easily checked, for instance, at Dafont, which will show the full charmap (maybe on demand?)
I should mention also:
-- the character is clearly out of tune with the rest--compare, for instance, with EB Garamond or Times New Roman, which do include IPA extensions;
-- in some cases, an application can silently populate missing slots with some default font, even if not present in the font actually in use--just as it can in html, provided some font with the required characters is present on the system: for instance, arabic or asiatic glyphs. In the case of Gimp, I have now and then used 'weird chacters' for effect--had to shuffle to the right font to escape the sans-serif default.
