I am using zsh shell on mac terminal, I was playing with oh my zsh theme to jazz a little bit and I have noticed that there are question marks characters around the directory I am in, so my question is how I can remove them? also is there any way to short cut -MacBook-Pro to MBP? enter image description here

  • I can try to help, but I'm not a oh-my-zsh user. The "?" could be utf-8 characters you don't have. What replies `echo $LANG` ? If you don't use git you can disable this. Check out [this question for the hostname](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30199068/zsh-prompt-and-hostname), or search your config files for PS1 or PROMPT. – lolesque Jan 26 '22 at 12:53

This problem is probably caused by fonts.

I have same problem with my fish shell with tide theme, and I'm struggling now. However, some question-marks began to display normally in my terminal(still remain some question-marks..), so I hope this will be helpful for you.

Here I share some solutions that may be a hint for you.

  1. Install the Nerd Fonts https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts

  2. Change the font setting from terminal preference.

  • If you use iTerm2,
    • check 'Use built-in Powerline glyphs'.
    • select a font 'for Powerline'. (If you can't see any font for Powerline, you need to install fonts for powerline by googling.)

  • If you use normal macos terminal,
    • change the font to any 'for Powerline'
