why does copy/pasting from pdfs sometimes have a problem with the ‘ti’ combination of letters?

seems that when you copy and paste, sometimes there’s a question mark in a box replacing letters, particularly t or ti in some strange unicode error. but why in my experience does it only affect these characters?

Because these text has been replaced by a different ligature character, when copying from PDF, the code for replacement is copied instead of the original text. Pasting that into the destination text box, that system tries to render a text code that it can’t find, resulting in an error.
