Vim renders Unicode just fine, but your font must support the glyph in question or you will only see a question mark or a box. In my experience, gVim (the GUI version) and a corresponding True Type fonts such as Andale Mono, Courier New, Monospace, Bitstream Vera Sans Mono, or Luxi Mono render many more glyphs than can be accomplished in a terminal. -- Steve Hall [ digitect dancingpaper com ]
