I am trying to get the unicode character '①' inserted in vim with the insert mode command but failed.

<CTRL-Q>u2460 --> result:$`

So I copied the unicode to vim and checked the hex value using ga to find the value as '8740'. I re-entered the unicode codepoint using the determined hex value to get the character successfully.

<CTRL-Q>u8740 --> result:①

But I don't understand why the codepoint '2460' does not work.

I am using windows 7. set encoding? gives me cp932.

  • Which platform are you on? And what does :set encoding? give? – Martin Tournoij Apr 21 '17 at 1:38
  • Its a system working on Windows 7. Encoding is cp932. – Stephen Jacob Apr 21 '17 at 2:13

    Try using utf-8 if possible; while Vim works with many encodings, I've found that it supports utf-8 best. – Martin Tournoij Apr 21 '17 at 2:17
