[SOLVED] fish showing U+FFFD U+FFFD U+FFFD after every command

I just [re]installed ArchLinux and now fish shows  after every command. I don't find anything about that error.

And if you reset your PS1?

EDIT: oops, I don't think there is such a thing in fish - but rather a fish_prompt.  Just the same, does resetting that change anything?  Please post your fish config(s).

I just reset the config but it's still showing up...

EDIT: so my configs are empty...

Your terminal prints u+fffd, fish likely prints something else (which is not available in the used font, hence the fallback)

Copy and paste them into

echo ??? | od -An -x --endian big

(Don't copypaste that line replace the "???" with the actual glyphs printed in the terminal)

You cannot paste them into the terminal because…?

Did you try selecting them with the mouse and then pressing the middle button?
Are you aware of ctrl+ins/shift+ins?
