I have been wrestling with lemonbar and character issues for the last few hours and I've gotten to the stage where everything I Google I've already visited, so I'm hoping someone can help me here!
I'm getting into creating my own bars using lemonbar, and I'm having troubles including certain characters (including Font Awesome and standard Unicode characters). I have already installed lemonbar-xft-git fork (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lemonbar-xft-git/) which I understand has support for fontconfig, and is required to used special fonts.
A simple example of what does and doesn't work:
echo -e "\u269b" # Outputs ⚛ (an atom Unicode character, displays perfectly fine in my terminal with Fira Mono font, so I know the font supports it)- Works as expected
echo -e "\u269b" | lemonbar -p -f "Fira Mono" # Displays an empty bar at the top of my screen, no boxes that are associated with undefined characters ect)- Doesn't work as expected, should have the atom in the bar
echo -e "Random text \u269b" | lemonbar -p -f "Fira Mono" # Displays a bar with the words "Random text", again no atom character- Doesn't work as expected
Why is lemonbar so temperamental about these characters, which are already included in the font that I'm using. Some "obscure" characters (box drawing, extended Latin ect.) work, while others like this don't.
If I could have any guidance that'd be great.
Thanks :)
