mintty is using windows fonts as such it needs
that MS provides a full set.

Using charmap (windows Character Map) I can see that 25B7
is not available in Consolas while for example 25B8 (small black )
and 25BA (large black) are available.
In other fonts (like Courier new) only 25BA is available and 25B8
is missing...
