Powerline font is required, Do you have it installed and activated ?

Looks like PROMPT and RPROMPT are hard coded. You could modify that in your .zshrc file

Note that VCS sections are invoked separately

Agree with @salmanulfarzy

Yes, you need to install Powerline fonts.

And, if you want to change the prompt, you will have to change a few files:

• alien.zsh
• modules/async.zsh
