I forgot:
1bis: Make sure you have a font with the necessary glyphs. For gvim, see
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Setting_the_font_in_the_GUI . For Console Vim,
it's a terminal-configuration problem, not a Vim problem.

Reclaimer, spare that tree!
Take not a single bit!
It used to point to me,
Now I'm protecting it.
It was the reader's CONS
That made it, paired by dot;
Now, GC, for the nonce,
Thou shalt reclaim it not.
