strange characters

Hi,

I recently installed the prezto zshrc that I use with xterm. But instead of the arrows I have squares as characters. Does anyone know what the problem might be?

Re: strange characters

I've never used it, but it sounds like it may need a specific font and/or a font with certain symbols available.

You may also want to try a unicode terminal (e.g. run xterm as `uxterm`).
