neovim/airline/polybar - certain characters not displaying

hello, all. i have taken to ricing out my arch install, and i've ran into an issue with certain characters not displaing. i am using bspwm with compton, as well as URxvt for my terminal. i'm trying out neovim, and tried putting Airline on neovim, and i do get the status bar but i get these characters on it:

for further reference, the same characters freak out when i run my polybar:

and for my font from my .Xresources:

URxvt.font:     -*-terminus-*-*-*-*-16-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

for more reference: i used to use boohoomil's infiniality, but had issues because of it when i was trying to build the latest polybar, so i dumped it, plus its repo has been down for a while now anyways. * plus, i have switched over to freetype2. forgot to include that when i first wrote this.

i will gladly provide any other information if it's needed. thanks to whoever reads this!

Read the Code of Conduct and only post thumbnails http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Cod … s_and_code

Does Terminus include those glyphs? Normally, you have to use specific fonts for thoese sorts of propmpts. If it does, your locale is probably broken.

Re: neovim/airline/polybar - certain characters not displaying

alright, i have set my locale and currently have some work that won't let me restart at the moment, but i was able to try a different font set that i think has these symbols (siji/wuncon siji) and when i try to open URxvt that is completely broken, so I will be looking into fixing that. gonna edit this post once i figure it out
