How to use "U+e0b6" () at the beginning of the prompt?

I'd like to know if there's any way to achieve this, which I can get with Oh-my-posh, but couldn't find with Oh-my-bash:

It depends on the theme, but I think no theme is currently supporting it. To show the character at the beginning of the prompt, You need to customize an existing theme by rewriting the implementation.

I've got this to work with this workaround on powerline.base.sh (although there's probably a better way to do this):

function __powerline_prompt_command {
  local last_status="$?" ## always the first
  local separator_char="${POWERLINE_PROMPT_CHAR}"

  # A new variable to put before the prompt. The '38;5;' tells the prompt to use a 256 colorbase. You can use the unicode of choice, like . See https://unicodes.jessetane.com/%EE%82%B6 for more options.
  CIRCLE="\[\033[38;5;${USER_INFO_THEME_PROMPT_COLOR}m\]\e[m"

  # Include the new variable here to be read.
  LEFT_PROMPT="$CIRCLE"
  SEGMENTS_AT_LEFT=0
  LAST_SEGMENT_COLOR=""

To get the other semi-circle at the other side, change this at powerline.theme.sh:

#! bash oh-my-bash.module

# source "$OSH/themes/powerline/powerline.base.sh"
source "$OSH_CUSTOM/themes/powerline/powerline.base.sh"

# This would change the latest part of the prompt from  to 
PROMPT_CHAR=${POWERLINE_PROMPT_CHAR:=""}

# This is just the separator. You can also use or 
POWERLINE_LEFT_SEPARATOR=${POWERLINE_LEFT_SEPARATOR:=""}

Now all I want to do is to remove these spaces haha

EDIT: editing LEFT_PROMPT+="${separator}$(set_color - ${params[1]})${params[0]}${_omb_prompt_normal}" (removing the spaces) at function __powerline_in_vim_prompt {

Seems like my workaround brings a new issue: when moving the cursor makes the terminal to show 3 extra characters at the beginning of the command that were not supposed to be.

For example, when going back to the bash history, this pip part was added because I recently used it, but definitely not with ls.

When pasting text weird things happen too, like adding htt at the beginning of the link (which is interesting, cause it's not at the beginning of the command):
