It should work, but most probably you only see empty rectangles or
question marks. This usually means, your font/terminal cannot display
that glyph and replaces it by a default glyph. The actual codepoints
are correct, though. I checked using the unicode.vim plugin and the
:UnicodeName command.

That basically means, you need to configure your gvim to use an apropriate
monospaced font. See :h 'guifont' and use e.g. :set guifont=* to select
a nice font from the dialogbox on GTK2 built or Windows.

For the terminal vim, you need to configure your terminal vim to use a
different font, that displays those characters.
