Some symbols do not render with the stock font about tmux-gitbar HOT 10 CLOSED

I don't want to use the hack-y powerline fonts. I'm on Mac OS X 10.11.5. The branch symbol was the only default symbol that wasn't visible by default. I updated my tmux-gitbar.conf with:
BRANCH_SYMBOL="⎇";
...so problem solved for me. This seems like a viable Unicode alternative to the Powerline symbol for general usage though.

Using the Unicode symbol ⎇ ( u8997 ) would be a viable alternative for the branch symbol. This would eliminate the dependency on the powerline font hack.

Did you have some problems with the default symbols? if yes, which symbol(s), which font and OS are you using?
Thanks for reporting ;-)

Same experience as @adrianluff -- I followed his fix

from tmux-gitbar.

The default should work out of the box on a vanilla configuration. If you confirm to me that the only symbol that doesn't show up correctly on a default Mac OS X configuration, I'll use another one as the default and set up a variable to change the default (for powerline users) that will be disabled by default

@aurelien-rainone that is the only symbol I have noticed that doesn't show. I am on Ubuntu 14.04 lxterminal using default monospace font

from tmux-gitbar.

Ok great. Thanks for the confirmation.
