Hi~ so i couldn't find a issue 'bout this, so i'm really sorry if this is a duplicate!.. image

I'm using windows~ Is it normal? at least on windows or is this just a bug on my side?

emdete commented 2 years ago

probably the terminal you're using. it doesnt support unicode. i switched to gnome-terminal out of that reason.

well aright if it depends on the terminal already installed on my pc (in this case windows), how can you change it? had the new windows terminal but it doesnt looked like it, more like the normal command promt?

You could try downloading a windows terminal with unicode support, for example cmder.

On GNU/Linux I found kitty works. It doesn't work on Windows though. urxvt didn't work, even though it has unicode in its name.

Works on Linux with Alacritty terminal, and Noto Color Emoji font installed and configured as monospace fallback via fontconfig. Not just on gomuks, but on any terminal app.

"http://github.com/alacritty/alacritty" and "http://github.com/googlefonts/noto-emoji" are able to provide what is necessary to remediate this.
