Hi,
By doing this (putting a mail-like > in front of U+2218), you're making
vim output U+2218 in bold font (because the mail syntax expresses a
color that result into bold font in your vim configuration). Then xterm
has to draw a bold U+2218. The problem is that for this you need a bold
font that holds U+2218, and it seems your system doesn't have any (just
like mine, actually), so xterm can't do much.
From the context, it sounds as if the font contains other glyphs that work.
I might be able to improve it by making xterm check if the normal/bold
fonts contain a different number of glyphs, and in that case add some
checks to use the normal glyph when the bold one is missing.
