Which fonts contain glyphs like the circled plus?
I tested switching fonts in gvim: the circled plus (0x2295) has two
different appearances. It looks the same with all tested monospace/sans
fonts and it looks the same with all tested serif fonts.

It is Unicode-aware, I can display Japanese characters for example. Only
a few languages (dz,gu,km,ne,pa) from the
/usr/share/applications/*.desktop files can't be displayed, whether
opened with vim, gvim, kate, cat.

I just tested using Vim in Xterm, there the circled square is displayed
correctly, in Konsole it's wrong. Seems to be related to KDE/Qt.
