should work without installing fonts or external dependencies.

The powerline symbols can't work without patched fonts, except if the terminal knows how to draw them like Kitty for instance. From the screenshot it looks like you are using a font which already has values for the characters used by powerline, which font is this?

I'd try something like this https://github.com/adi1090x/termux-style just to verify. It could be that the font you are using do support the powerline symbols but have different values for them, in that case you'd need to change the SBP config.

@akoerner https://github.com/powerline/fonts Might want to try with some of the fonts from here. I had the same problem on bash/gnome-terminal and this fixed it.

I don't use any patched font but just installed the nerd fonts symbols font file.

Aye, so basically you'll either need fonts that support powerline glyphs, or a terminal that can draw the glyphs manually if you want to use the powerline layout unfortunatly.
