Probably rather the locale (of either the system or the files)?
0020 is " " (space) and apparently some non-ascii char causes it to be rendered as codepoint.

hi

tank you for you help

[christophe@christophe-nb ~]$ locale -a
C
POSIX
en_US
en_US.utf8
fr_FR
fr_FR.utf8
french

It is ok for locale system. I think it is a problem missing fonts.

Debian and manjaro do not have the problem with the same configuration files

edit : it is a bug https://github.com/Anachron/i3blocks/issues/53
Uninstalling ttf-font-awesome and installing otf-font-awesome worked for me.

"locale -a" does not report the locale config, but the generated locales (and I'm not sure "french" is a valid locale)
This is *NOT* a font issue, the 0020 codepoint is rendered as codepoint, but ascii/utf-8 0020 is the ordinary space (which matches at least one file you posted) and it renders perfectly fine in most cases.
