Yes that seems to be issue. For non working I have

             position: 158 of 780 (20%), column: 36
             
            character: ├ (displayed as ├) (codepoint 9500, #o22434, #x251c)
    preferred charset: unicode (Unicode (ISO10646))
code point in charset: 0x251C
               script: symbol
               syntax: _ 	which means: symbol
             category: .:Base, c:Chinese, h:Korean, j:Japanese
             to input: type "C-x 8 RET HEX-CODEPOINT" or "C-x 8 RET NAME"
