Unable to display custom glyph using custom prompts

Describe Your Issue

What is happening? -> I am unable to display custom glyphs using custom prompts on my terminal. I am a beginner, so I apologize in advance !

Most issues are best explained with a screenshot. Please share one if you can!

Have you tried to debug or fix it?

Have you tinkered with your settings, and what happened when you did? Did you find a bit of code that you think might be the culprit? Let us know what you've done so far!

-> I feel like it has something to do with the way I am writing the code. I also have a suspicion about the fact that the MODE=nerdfont-complete line is different from the font folder I have installed called "Hack Font Nerd". I've googled and looked at the troubleshooting thread, filtered through issues with the keywords of glyph, icon, and custom. I have tried:

Doing get_icon_info -> I am able to see the icons so I think the fonts are properly installed
Running POWERLEVEL9K_MODE=nerdfont-complete zsh
Doing echo on the icon -> I am able to see the icon
Placing POWERLEVEL_9K MODE at the top of the zsh config file
Trying different ways of displaying the custom prompts (Tried displaying just the string "JavaScript" or simply the icon, or leaving out the -n keyword the example custom prompt uses, nothing has worked
Placing the custom font code separately after the left and right display configurations. This had no effect

Environment Information

This information will help us understand your configuration.

What version of ZSH are you using? You can use zsh --version to see this. -> zsh --version zsh 5.3 (x86_64-apple-darwin18.0)
Do you use a ZSH framework (e.g., Oh-My-ZSH, Antigen)? -> I used Oh-My-ZSH, the theme I downloaded was PowerLevel 9K originally, but I've switched to PowerLevel 10k
How did you install P9k (cloning the repo, by tarball, a package from your OS, etc.,)? -> I used macOS with homebrew.
What version of P9k are you using? -> Not sure how to check this I'm sorry, but I downloaded it a month ago so I think I am up to date.
Which terminal emulator do you use? -> I am using iTerm2 for customizable themes.

Issues with Fonts & Icons

You may delete this section if your issue is not font / icon related.

Which font do you use? -> I am using the Hack Nerd Font.
Which font configuration mode are you using? You can check this with (echo $POWERLEVEL9K_MODE). -> nerdfont-complete
Please share the contents of $P9k/debug/font-issues.zsh. -> I am getting an error of " zsh: no such file or directory: P9k/debug/font-issues.zsh " but I changed P9K to powerlevel9k and I got this:
If this is an icon problem, does the output of $ get_icon_names look correct? -> Yes, all of them are displaying correctly.

You need to add custom_javascript to prompt list.

POWERLEVEL9K_RIGHT_PROMPT_ELEMENTS=(custom_javascript)

In addition, it's better to specify an icon for your custom prompt via a dedicated parameter, similarly to how you've defined its colors.

POWERLEVEL9K_CUSTOM_JAVASCRIPT_ICON=$'\ue781'

@romkatv Thank you so much!!! 😄 Feel like such a dummy haha, I'll now work on seeing if I can display it without strings Also, thank you for your work on PL10K!

My pleasure.

By the way, remove this line from the top of your config:

source ~/powerlevel9k/powerlevel9k.zsh-theme

Otherwise zsh is wasting time loading p9k only to be overridden by p10k later on. By removing the line nothing should change but zsh should start a little bit faster.

@romkatv Done! Much appreciated 😊
