GNOME Terminal itself is able to render this symbol correctly

As of now, a screen cell in Turbo Vision can only hold up to 15 bytes of text. The whole Scottish flag is 28 bytes long, so it doesn't fit. :/

I was just trying to figure out how much memory to allocate to store one cell in a similar situation. It looks like you need even more than 15 in some cases.
