Description
I use a custom irssi theme that contains the UTF-8 "Fleur de Lys" symbol (U+269C - ⚜). While this character is displayed just fine when I use ssh, it just disappears in mosh. Also, there are display errors in irssi: random characters just disappear or get swapped by other characters. This only occurs when I use my custom theme so there might be a connection.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue using mosh with the custom irssi theme containing U+269C (⚜), then compare the display with ssh. Investigate the character disappearance and substitutions in the mosh terminal path; done means the theme renders these characters consistently without display errors.
