How to remove red base glyph from my oh-my-posh/posh-git display?

Question

I'm using windows terminal v1.0.1402.0 with powershell v7.0.1 with oh-my-posh and posh-git. I'm currently getting the following red base glyph when I open up my terminal.

I've installed and tried using MesloLGL NF and Cascadia Mono PL for the fonts which both should work with oh-my-posh.

Here is my powershell profile:

Import-Module posh-git
Import-Module oh-my-posh
Set-Theme Paradox

Here is my windows terminal settings

 "defaults":
        {
            "colorScheme":  "One Half Dark",
            //"fontFace": "MesloLGL NF"
            "fontFace": "Cascadia Mono PL"
            // Put settings here that you want to apply to all profiles.
        },
        "list":
        [   
            {
                // Make changes here to the powershell.exe profile
                "guid": "{61c54bbd-c2c6-5271-96e7-009a87ff44bf}",
                "name": "Windows PowerShell",
                "commandline": "pwsh.exe",
                "useAcrylic": true,
                "acrylicOpacity": 0.8,
                "hidden": false
            },

I get this error regardless of what directory I'm in.

If it helps, here are my theme settings too: (Side note: The error count just went to 1, when I printed this before it was still 0)

PromptSymbols        : {SegmentBackwardSymbol, RootSymbol, PromptIndicator, VirtualEnvSymbol...}
CurrentHostname      : MyHost
MyThemesLocation     : C:\MyPath\PowerShell\PoshThemes
CurrentThemeLocation : C:\MyPath\PowerShell\Modules\oh-my-posh\2.0.412\Themes\Paradox.psm1
GitSymbols           : {BeforeIndexSymbol, LocalStagedStatusSymbol, DelimSymbol, BranchUntrackedSymbol...¦}
Options              : {ConsoleTitle, OriginSymbols}
ErrorCount           : 1
CurrentUser          : user
Colors               : {GitForegroundColor, GitDefaultColor, PromptForegroundColor, VirtualEnvBackgroundColor...¦}

To those who encounter this behaviour and do not want to fully remove the oh-my-posh integration with conda like the accepted answer says, there is one way of fixing the unknown glyph.

The extra glyphs used can be obtained by using a patched version of Cascadia Code from Nerd Fonts. Look for the one called Caskaydia Cove. After downloading, open each font file and install it. Then the font can be set in Windows Terminal options (press Ctrl+,) and replace the default font as below:

"fontFace" : "CaskaydiaCove Nerd Font",

This is how the prompt should look now.

I was able to fix this by referencing this https://superuser.com/q/1424905/1183235 question. I listed all my powershell profiles, saw one that initialized conda and removed it. Now it works!

To list all powershell profiles:

$PROFILE | Format-List -Force

Notice that this is also a useful feature, i.e. when you activate your conda environment, it also shows the conda environment name where "base" is right now. – sh0rtcircuit Jan 08 '21 at 10:09

Add

$sl.PromptSymbols.VirtualEnvSymbol = ''

at the bottom of Paradox's theme file (or current theme's file)
