With konsole I use Liberation Mono too, and running vim in konsole the display is corrupted, though the glyph is sometimes displayed. Setting ambiwith=double improves things a bit, sometimes the display is correct. I would consider this a konsole problem; I get the same trouble at the bash prompt if I run echo "THUMBS UP SIGN (👍)1234" then go back and edit the line; vim is not involved. But it's really a fundamental limitation in vim; it really wants characters in single cells, with some limited hacks for double width characters. I can't see this limitation changing.
