Right, so it’s not the font that’s the problem.

Now, _that_ is weird. What does F1 v ctl-arrow RET give you for the value of
the variable? If something other than iso-8859/1, try setting it to that: 

ESC: (setq ctl-arrow 'iso-8859/1) RET

and see if that makes a difference. But iso-8859/1 is its default value, so
this will only help if it’s been set in your init.el.
