This bullet symbol requires the symbol.ttf font, which is absent on Linux.
So create a folder for additional fonts in the Linux filesystem and copy this font file there.
On the Java side you should specify the font folder.

        WordProcessingLoadOptions loadOptions = new WordProcessingLoadOptions();
        loadOptions.setPreserveDocumentStructure(true);
        ConverterSettings converterSettings = new ConverterSettings();
        converterSettings.setFontDirectories(Arrays.asList("your font folder"));
        Converter converter = new Converter("headers-text-list-table.docx", loadOptions, converterSettings);
        PdfConvertOptions pdfConvertOptions = new PdfConvertOptions();
        FileOutputStream fileOutputStream = new FileOutputStream("output.pdf");
        converter.convert(() -> fileOutputStream, pdfConvertOptions);
        converter.close();
