I find that there seems to be a problem with "%s" in this regard.
Source text: "וְהָאָרֶץ, הָיְתָה תֹהוּ וָבֹהוּ" If I search using / for \u05b8 the search fails. If I instead use Ctrl+V in insert that character, the search works. However, using "s" and a character class I cannot find either, e.g. :s/[\u05b0-\u05c0]/ fails to find it. This seems to be a bug in how combining characters are dealt with.
