Noto Sans and Noto Serif font do not cover Sinhala.
Applications will either show the notdef glyph (a blank rectangle) or use a glyph from a fallback font to display a character not covered by the font used.
Chrome uses fallback fonts.

You can add Noto Sans Sinhala or Noto Serif Sinhala to your CSS font-family definition so browsers can use them as fallback fonts for Sinhala characters. For example: font-family: Noto Sans, Noto Sans Sinhala, sans;.
