I'm trying to customize my bar in Qtile and used some of Distrotube's configuration that contains a Unicode arrow that gives the bar a Powerline affect. My bar displays it as a box with some text instead of the arrow.
I thought it might be some fonts that I didn't install, so I went over to the Fonts page to find some fonts that contain includes Unicode. I installed bdf-unifont to see if that solves the issue, but that no luck.
This is how the arrow looks for my bar compared to Distrotube's bar

Could there be another font package that properly displays the arrow?

FontAwesome (what the hipptsatube likely uses) - f0d9 is in the private use range, ie. not all supporting fonts will even use the same/similar glyph there.
There're various packages in the AUR.
You'll consistently be more lucky w/ ◀ ◂ or ◄ (0x25c{0,2,4}) for leftward pointing triangles, otherwise you'll have to use the same (maybe a powerline patched) font.

Thanks, the FontAwesome package displays the arrow properly.
