Noto Serif JP (not pan-CJK) then "&OHMJTI ╚倀 מ׮؆ׇ". (It seems that LilyPond is smart when selecting the language depending on your system environment, so we may have to use the subset version to select explicitly.)
The problem  does not appear if the cairo backend is used, see 
https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/merge_requests/853.

Do you use a lilypond installer or do you build lilypond from source? Which 
operating system do you use?
