Hello,

In Org, we have recently had a need to check if a Unicode character can
be displayed in buffer.

We used the following:
(...
  (if (and (display-graphic-p)
           (char-displayable-p ?⭠)
           (char-displayable-p ?─))
      "⭠ now ───────────────────────────────────────────────"
    "now - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -")
...)

However, char-displayable-p returned false-positive for one user:
https://list.orgmode.org/orgmode/87mtddhprr.fsf@localhost/ 

False-positives are indeed not unexpected in char-displayable-p; just as
its docstring warns. However, I am now wondering if there is some more
accurate way to know if a character can be actually displayed on buffer
or not.
