In Bitstream Vera Sans Mono 8 in gvim 8.0.600 for GTK3 (which I just made using "make reconfig" after an update of the python2, python3 and IIRC lua packages), U+20F0 is present in the buffer and gvim recognises it as a composing character, but its display is easy to miss: AFAICT only 3 pixels are in the foreground colour, at top right of the character cell, in this shape (shown here by one asterisk per pixel): ** *
When the cursor is on it, ga and g8 give the expected values below the status line. Best regards, Tony.
