Description of the bug

When I launch my eww widgets, none of the icons or emojis show up. I had to replace the icons with actual text so that I would know what is what, but obviously this looks ugly. I am aware that this is most likely not a bug with eww itself, but I've scoured the internet trying to find a solution and this is my last resort. Please no hate, I'm a very new user to Linux. Just started using it for a couple of weeks.

Reproducing the issue

I'm using this guy's config. I made sure to use the yuck version of it to work with the latest version of eww. https://github.com/adi1090x/widgets https://github.com/adi1090x/widgets/pull/5 --> (Updated to yuck config).

image As you could spot here instead of the icons there are these black boxes. When I copied these black boxes into google search i found out that some of these are actually invalid unicodes. I couldn't find a font that would support them.

Expected behaviour

I didn't have correct fonts installed... sorry for the bother.
