On Windows, Courier New (the default font for the drracket output pane) 
does not support U+2144.  When I set the output pane to use a font that 
does support this character, such as Segoe UI Symbol, U+2144 displays in 
the correct bounding box, e.g. (display (string #\a (integer->char 
#x2144) #\c)).  So it has something to do with how DrRacket on Windows 
switches fonts to display symbol characters.

(Tested on Windows 7)
