Yes, all Unicode characters are checked using char-displayable-p in the patch. However, some characters may be technically displayable but not very pretty, or have awkward metrics.
That said, the brackets look fine where I've tested them so it's probably not a serious concern.

Maybe, but Calc already has rather too many variables and should we have separate variables for all non-ASCII features then, like the square root sign?
We are just speculating here. I'd hoped for concrete cheerful evidence like 'looks terrible on my terminal', 'completely destroys embedded-mode for me'...
