Not sure why, but I can see white rectangle after the timer name.

It's a unicode character that your platform doesn't support, I guess.

blackjackshellac commented 3 years ago

Mine looks like this image

I can change it if it's a problem.

Unicode U+2B9A

What distro and gnome shell version are you using?

meridius commented 3 years ago

I can add the smileys no problem. obrazek

Adding the U+2B9A as "bar ⮚" shows this: obrazek

I'm using Arch and Gnome Shell 40.1.0 with Cantarell as a default font. As I can see it has poor Unicode support despite it being the default font in Gnome. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantarell_(typeface)#Criticism It is maybe for consideration whether you really need to have that Unicode char there, given many users will have this default font, and aren't able to remove the Unicode char.

Strange, Cantarell is the default font on fedora 34 too.

/usr/share/fonts/cantarell/Cantarell-Regular.otf version 0.301

Obviously not a huge issue, so I have no objection to removing it.
