Not sure where something's not being encoded properly, but I get the 
same results here under 4.3.12 patch 1.5346 w/ LANG/LC_* set to 
en_US.UTF-8.  Also fails on git tag zsh-4.3.10.  So, it's not a new 
issue, AFAICT.

♔ = \U2654 = UTF-8: 0xe2 0x99 0x94

In my HISTORYFILE it ends up being encoded as:

0xe2 0x83 0xb9 0x83 0xb4

If I run:

$ echo ♔
$ r

and then arrow-up, it ends up displaying as: echo <20f9><83><b4> (which 
jives with the HISTORYFILE encoding, but seems notable inasmuch as zsh 
is 'aware' that the characters are different).

In the process of git-bisecting, but I won't be able to finish til 
tomorrow sometime (probably).
