Describe the bug

The unicode glyph u2630 (Trigram for heaven) does not render on Linux X11. Works fine on MacOS. This is a standard glyph in the vim "airline" plugin and I believe similar ones As can be seen, it works perfectly in gedit with the same font. Also tried adding 'Arial unicode MS' as a fallback, which I know for sure includes this glyph

To Reproduce

Attempt to use this glyph in any conext. Ie. paste from here: ☰

Configuration

return { font = wezterm.font('Monospace'), }

Expected Behavior

No response

Anything else?

See missing glyph after in the statuslines. And rendered in gedit in the same font

[wez]

Please run:

wezterm ls-fonts

and then:

wezterm ls-fonts --codepoints 2630

and

fc-list ':charset=2630'

and share the output from each of those.

After that: Monospace is a bit of a special case font name. Can you try explicitly setting the actual font that you want to use and see if that works better?

Thanks for that! I had copied "Arial Unicode MS" from my Mac as I know this to include the glyph, but no matter what I tried, it would not work. However the commands you suggested seems to have rehashed the font machinery somehow and now it works!

The 'Monospace' font is the system default which i tried for max compliance. it seems to be an alias for "DejaVu Sans Mono" though. The attached "output1.txt" is with the font set to "Monospace" The attached "output2.txt" is with the font set to my preference "Monaco Nerd Font Mono" As can be seen in "output2.txt", the missing glyph can now be found in "Arial Unicode MS" which is set as a fallback.

Thanks again. I'll close the issue with this comment

output1.txt

output2.txt
