Hi, I'm not sure if this is a bug or if there is some setting related to
the display of unicode that I don't know about.

The problem is that the braille unicode character BRAILLE PATTERN
BLANK (0x2800)
doesn't display as blank but appears as what looks like a different
character. I have submitted a question to stackoverflow which includes
screen shots of what the code should look like in both terminal and in
emacs. I am running on macOS Mojave 10.14.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53024626/why-is-emacs-displaying-unicode-character-braille-pattern-blank-as-a-non-blank-c

Thanks!

Justin
