my dwm fonts are jet brains mono and joy pixels and when i removed jet brains and made joy pixels the default the boxes did disappear but the joy pixel font did look ugly so is it a font problem ? i have even tried mono space and anonymous pro fonts but the boxes remained the same

I believe those are signal characters. Try applying this patch https://github.com/LukeSmithxyz/dwm/commit/0c7644eebcceb30621091b2edce798a204f8bdbc. Or take a look at the copyvalidchars() function which removes all the signal characters.

To resolve this issue, you need to patch the dwm with statuscmd 6.2 patch.
