I tried several fonts: sans-serif, Times, Times New Roman, Courier. All show the same behavior.
I tried copy pasting the symbol from the web and entering it from the OSX unicode keyboard (from which other programs display the anchor correctly), as well as entering through inkscape. All give the same result.
Additionally, I've now reproduced the error on a second machine (same version of inkscape and OSX). On both of these machines inkscape was built using macports.
On a third machine running inkscape .91 the anchor displays correctly (also OSX Sierra). Inkscape was from the installer on this machine. This prompted me to try inkscape .92.2 from the installer on the first machine - there too the anchor displays correctly.
Could macports somehow be at fault? This seems quite perplexing.
