as you can see some character don't appear when I do the echo "\ue0b0 \u00b1 \ue0a0 \u27a6 \u2718 \u26a1 \u2699" command the colours are off in short it a bit of a mess ^^' and I tried finding multiple solution I found this one https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/issues/1906#issuecomment-252443982 which helped a lot because it made the arrow appear at the end of ~. But I am a bit out of option I spent days trying to understand how everything work with no luck and sadly not a lot of time cause well work. So help of any kind is very welcome and if you need more information cause I m not very sure of what to post just ask.

thank you very much in advance ps I am far from being a expert so please do explain in detail if possible thanks

@morzen, I think you need to install a Powerline patched font from here: https://github.com/powerline/fonts, but then actual select it in your Terminal for use.

In iTerm2 it's under Preferences > Profiles > Text > Font

@mattcotton I installed it and it honestly a bit more the way I want to the only little problem I have is which font do I select cause I got multiple under the name of powerline I choose one and give me something like the this

@morzen Without installing any special fonts or patches, I was able to get iTerm2 + zsh + agnoster working on a fresh Mac running Catalina. Here's the setting mattcotten has already mentioned, do you have it ticked? Try setting the font to the default of Monaco just to rule out anything you might have already tried.

Hope this helps

@barrywoolgar I have it ticked and well everything the same as you

but sadly it doesn't change anything

This is what I thought would fix the icons not quite appearing. I don't see that failing in your screenshot, so not sure if we're talking about the same thing. What's the problem in your screenshot?

Also, did you open a new tab before testing? Not sure if that matters.
