Hello

When looking at a text file that contains nothing but the character U+21B2 ("↲"), only a rectangle is shown (looking like this "▯", as if the character was unknown). But for a text file that contains the two characters U+21B2 ("↲") and U+21BC ("▼") Notepad++ correctly shows an arrow and a triangle.

This is how strings are displayed:

File Content Expected Result Displayed in Notepad++
"\u21B2" "↲" "▯"
"\u25BC\u21B2" "▼↲" "▼↲"
"\u21B2\u25BC" "↲▼" "↲▼"
"A\u21B2" "A↲" "A▯"
"\u25BCA\u21B2" "▼A↲" "▼A↲"

I noticed that if I copy the rectangle and paste it (f.e. to this text area), I correctly see an arrow.

I am using Notepad++ v6.8.1 on Windows 8.1.

Bye
