zsh showing weird ? characters after upgrade on Mac Catalina

Hi ya folks!! It has been a while since I updated my blog (4 years!!)

The issue on hand is after I upgraded my bash to zsh (as recommended by Apple), the terminal is a bit messed up.

After a couple of hours of messing around on Google, here are the steps:

1. Install powerline fonts (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42271657/oh-my-zsh-showing-weird-character-on-terminal)

2. Reconfigure iTerm2 to use the Powerline fonts for non-ASCII fonts (https://github.com/powerline/fonts/issues/44)

Please do refer to the above links for further information. Tata
