I tried reinstall the program (xinput), reinstall the fonts, change the fonts...

Thanks in advance for your help.

Re: Missing symbols in terminal

Which fonts do you use? Also, outputs of

localectl
locale
locale -a

Re: Missing symbols in terminal

I think you need to set the locale to either en_GB.utf8 or es_ES.utf8: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Lo … tem_locale
