needed to set my locale to UTF-8:
This command does it for me:
LC_ALL="en_US.utf8" cool-retro-termPro-Tip, you can see what locales you have installed with locale -a.
Should I PR in a note to the documentation, or is this undocumentably stupid?

2 years ago IMO this should be documented, as it is hard to track

This can be added to desktop file:
sudo nano /usr/share/applications/cool-retro-term.desktop
then:

Comment=Use the command line the old way

Alacritty - Left.
Cool-Retro-Term - Center.
Cool-Retro-Term Settings - Right.
So even though Alacritty and Cool-Retro-Term are using the same font (nerdfonts sauce-code-pro which contains a ton of glyphs) Cool Retro Term straight up refuses to display some of the of the unicode characters. In fact any attempt to paste them in converts the unicode char to it's octal parts and refuses to display.
Even if I print craft the unicode glyph from raw octal, printf still can't display the glyph which should be supported by the font.
alacritty octal test (sauce code pro - nerdfonts)
cool-retro-term octal test (sauce code pro - nerdfonts)
They're basically just being ommitted entirely. Not sure what's up because I've seen screenshots of people using these fonts to get these characters. Figured I'd share my findings to see if anyone has any insight. Might be good to try some regression here.
