You need an up-to-date Nerd-Font (https://www.nerdfonts.com/). gBar by default uses the Caskaydia-Cove NF, which can be installed with the ttf-cascadia-code-nerd Arch package (I assume you're on Arch). After that is installed, restart gBar and it should show the icons correctly.

If you want to use another Nerd-Font, you need to modify the css. A guide for that can be found in the FAQ section of the README ("FAQ/I want to customize the colors")

For further info you can also have a look at "FAQ/The icons are not showing!".
