I have no idea why these use different fonts (even the file code is the
same, so it is not a difference in iso-2022 codepoints chosen), on my
installation both use MS Mincho (I probably have an older version of
DejaVu Mono that does not support that character). And why does that
character have a category of h:Korean j:Japanese?

Handa-san, can you explain this?
