I am currently using Windows 10 with CYGWIN. Its using mintty and running ZSH in xterm-256.

I have been searching all night and cannot find a place to find all powerline glyphs for use in the ZSH prompt, I am very new to this so don't expect me to know anything.

For example, the 'svn branch' and 'git untracked (like 3 dots)'. I don't know whether these are unicode or something or other so any information on what they are and how to use them would be greatly appreciated.

Fonts you are looking for can be found here. Installation instructions from the official documentation:

  1. Download the latest version of the symbol font and fontconfig file:

    wget https://github.com/powerline/powerline/raw/develop/font/PowerlineSymbols.otf

    wget https://github.com/powerline/powerline/raw/develop/font/10-powerline-symbols.conf

  2. Move the symbol font to a valid X font path. Valid font paths can be listed with xset q:

    mv PowerlineSymbols.otf ~/.fonts/

  3. Update font cache for the path the font was moved to (root priveleges may be needed to update cache for the system-wide paths):

    fc-cache -vf ~/.fonts/

  4. Install the fontconfig file. For newer versions of fontconfig the config path is~/.config/fontconfig/conf.d/, for older versions it’s ~/.fonts.conf.d/:

    mv 10-powerline-symbols.conf ~/.config/fontconfig/conf.d/

You can find detailed documentation here.
