Well, in my system both commands are ok too.

By "using ?\u21b5 in blank mode" I meant
putting ?\u21b5 in blank-display-mappings like:

   (?\n    [?\u21b5 ?\n] [?$ ?\n])

When blank-mode is on using the setting above,
instead of appear ↵ at the end of line (\n)
it appears an empty rectangle box at the end of line.

Usually the empty rectangle box appears
when Emacs recognizes the character
but can't represent a character in the display screen.

I have no glue why this is happening.
