The snippet below has been in my vimrc for quite some time, recently (in the latest versions of vim) I am getting an error in the forth line:
set listchars=tab:? ,trail:◇,extends:?,precedes:?,eol:? " show tabs et. al.
I have not made any changes to my vimrc file and yet now I am getting this error:
Error detected while processing $HOME/.vim/rcfiles/editing:
line 11:
E474: Invalid argument: listchars=tab:?~V? ,trail:?~W~G,extends:?,precedes:?,eol:?
line 11 is the 4th line in the snippet.

if v:version >= 703

let &listchars="tab:u21e5 ,trail:u2423,extends:u21c9,precedes:u21c7,nbsp:u00b7,eol:u00ac"
let &listchars="tab:u25b8 ,trail:u25c7,extends:u00bb,precedes:u00ab,nbsp:u00b7,eol:u00ac"
endif
I haven't yet tried to go back to older versions where it works but I know that the error is thrown in version 8.0.1453 on one machine and version 8.2.2100 on another.
Oddly, if I type (or copy and paste) this line into vim, it is accepted with no problem, but in my vimrc I get an error on startup.
Any ideas?
