[SOLVED] Termite/ikhal symbol issue

I use termite as my go to terminal with Source Code Pro as my font. When I run ikhal, I get a box instead of a repeat symbol. Is this a UTF-8 issue?

Thanks for any help.

Best

What is a "repeat symbol" (codepoint?)?

Here's a screenshot of what it should look like from my other computer.

Instead of the circular arrow, I get a box indicating that it can't display the symbol correctly.

Source Code Pro does not provide this glyph, you need some font in the substitution mechanism of the terminal emulator (should be standard fontconfig mechanism for termite) to provide it (for me it goes all the way down to DejaVu Sans, not a monospace font, though)

Thanks! That cracked it - I looked it up in gucharmap on my other box and it's DejaVu Sans (which I hadn't installed yet).
