Soft right arrows not displaying

[vendion]

Using rxvt-unicode (urxvt) v9.17 with the unicode3 option enabled I do not see the soft right arrows, the other arrows and glyphs display just fine. I have tried this with multiple fonts including the Monaco font that is currently in a Pull Request as well as the SourceCodePro font. I am using the python2 version of the powerline plugin from Arch's AUR.

Screen shots of what I am seen can be found here: http://imgur.com/a/Jyr9Z the font used in the screenshots is Source Code Pro.

What are your encoding and termencoding settings? This is probably related to some Unicode setting in your environment, please verify that you have enabled UTF-8 everywhere.

My system locale is set as so

LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES=C
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"

In Vim my encoding is set to UTF-8 and my termencoding is blank. If I define termencoding as being UTF-8 and reload Vim there is still no change in the statusbar.

Hm, I thought your statusline didn't render correctly at all, but after looking closer at the screenshots I can see that only the left-pointing soft arrow doesn't render correctly. That's quite strange and could very well be an issue with the font patching. Does the glyph show up when opening the font in fontforge (or a character map)?

For Source Code Pro, the Monico font is on a different box, I can find the left-pointing soft arrow is in U+e0b3 using fontforge

Also having this issue with rxvt-unicode-patched, latest vim-airline, and latest powerline-font for Inconsolata-dz at size 11.

Symbols appear correctly in gVim.

I also have this problem with urxvt and Powerline. Here is my URxvt font configuration:

URxvt*font:                 xft:Dejavu Sans Mono for Powerline:bold:pixelsize=12:antialias=true
URxvt*boldFont:             xft:Dejavu Sans Mono for Powerline:bold:pixelsize=12:antialias=true
URxvt*imFont:               xft:Dejavu Sans Mono for Powerline:bold:pixelsize=12:antialias=true
URxvt*italicFont:           xft:Dejavu Sans Mono for Powerline:bold:italic:pixelsize=12:antialias=true
URxvt*boldItalicFont:       xft:Dejavu Sans Mono for Powerline:bold:italic:pixelsize=12:antialias=true

And all of my locale variables are correctly set to en_US.UTF-8. Everything works fine under gnome-terminal though.
