While in vim, type ":help digraphs"-and enjoy!

Subject: Vim and Unicode supplementary chars
I've started looking at vim again, and as far as I can see, it
"handles" Unicode supplementary chars internally, but still
doesn't render them properly.
E.g. if you enter CTRL-V U00010400 the character is in the
buffer, and can be written to file, but all you see on the screen
is a question mark.
Is that still the status? or is there a way to enter supplementary
chars in vim and see the glyphs?
Thanks,
Ken
With or without without digraphs, I have never succeeded (yet) to display
Unicode codepoints above U+FFFF as anything but a question mark. I think it is
a limitation of current versions of (g)vim but I sure would like it to be
removed. There are quite a number of Chinese characters in Plane 2 (U+2xxxx)
which are displayed correctly by my browser; but they show in gvim as only a
wide question mark.
Can't find it in the Todo list, but that list is so long, the item could quite
well have escaped me.
Best regards,
Tony.
