Website

some texts renders as symbols

Hello again. I've installed powerline (I don't know is it related or not) in this week and also made some changes to my font configurations file yesterday.
I don't know exactly when or why (discovered some hours ago) but I've found some characters if follow each (like 'fi') will display as an emoji or some symbols.
for example the mentioned 'fi' will render as a telephone, or 'ffic' (I saw in name of 'libreoffice') will render as some arrows.
in some applications like `sublime', 'termite', 'alacritty' everything is fine, but some applications like 'kitty', 'qterminal', 'rofi' has this problem.
my web browser (opera) is fine with this editor, but it renders 'fi' in 'fontconfig' in arch wiki as telephone like others.

$ ls ~/.config/fontconfig
      conf.d/
$ ls ~/.config/fontconfig
      conf.d/
$ /usr/bin/cat ~/.config/fontconfig/conf.d/99-deepin.conf
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">

    <match target="pattern">

        </test>
        <edit name="family" mode="assign" binding="strong">
            <string>Vazir</string>
            <string>Noto Sans</string>
        </edit>
    </match>

    <match target="pattern">
        <test qual="any" name="family">
            <string>sans-serif</string>
        </test>
        <edit name="family" mode="assign" binding="strong">
        	<string>Vazir</string>
            <string>Noto Sans</string>
        </edit>
    </match>

    <match target="pattern">
        <test qual="any" name="family">
            <string>monospace</string>
        </test>
        <edit name="family" mode="assign" binding="strong">
            <string>NotoSansMono Nerd Font</string>
        </edit>
    </match>

    <match target="font">
        <edit name="rgba"><const>rgb</const></edit>
    </match>
</fontconfig>

EDIT: it just fixed by removing 'NotoSansMono Nerd Font', but I used it before, And was fine. why this happens?
