[SOLVED]Zsh display some random characters instead of computername

I installed zsh following Arch wiki. All went well, but instead of displaying my computer name, I get some random characters.
Guake displays all OK, but Gnome terminal display wrong my Z shell. If I do su, , I get my computername and % prompt, but for my regular user I get:[\u@\h \W]\$

What have I done wrong?

ZSH does not use the same variables as Bash for prompt creation.

I was confused, because, Konsole (KDE terminal) displayed all corectly on the first run.
