The string ‘differ’ that you see on screen doesn’t contain any underlying ligature: ‘ff’ is just rendered as a ligature on your screen. You can see that in (at least) two ways: you can place the cursor between the two f’s, and when you select the word, the Info panel reports 6 characters. So I don’t think it’s possible to get the dump you’re after.
