Package: vim
Version: 1:6.2-149+1
Severity: minor
I have the following steting sin my .vimrc:
set termencoding=utf-8
set encoding=utf-8
Which generally works with characters <U+10000, but characters above
the 16 bit boundary (for example this test-sentence: πΌπ°π² π²π»π΄π πΉΜππ°π½, π½πΉ πΌπΉπ π
πΏ
π½π³π°π½ π±ππΉπ²π²πΉπΈ) are shown as (on my screen) blue "?"-signs.
When displaying texts containing characters that cannot be represented
in the terminal's encoding, vim uses the same blue "?" character as
replacement, so I guess that vim somehow thinks that utf-8 terminals
cannot represent charecters >U+FFFF.
Storage and editing works, though, so this is just a display problem.

This is not a bug, but the documenter behaviour of vim. Quoting from
'help unicode':
In the file and buffer the full range of Unicode characters can be
used (31 bits). However, displaying only works for 16 bit characters,
and only for the characters present in the selected font.
I'm thus closing the bug (and #261164, submitted by you as well, merged
with #236393).
Cheers.
