Why are those hieroglyphs in pikaur output?

[rafnov]

Can be seen here at the beginning of few lines: https://ibb.co/7Nh46X3
It's XFCE Terminal with encoding set to UTF-8. Pikaur is 1.32. Changing font does not help.

Why

because your terminal doesn't support emoji, i guess, i didn't checked the link

[rafnov]

The link is just a part of the screenshot.

[actionless]

yeah, as i told before either your terminal doesn't support emoji or you don't have an emoji font installed

[rafnov]

Ok, thx for the info.

Please make the decoration configurable - I'd rather not have a scooter, imho

pikaur/pikaur/config.py

Lines 50 to 54 in 2ce728e

	# DECORATION: "Final" = "::"
	# DECORATION: "Final" = "△ "
	DECORATION: "Final" = "🛴"
	# DECORATION: "Final" = "⚡️"
	# @TODO: make it configurable later on

i could imagine, that those were the last words of that general 🌚

I cannot "see" this/these emoji characters in mate-terminal, xfce4-terminal, or xterm via vim - but I can see them while viewing the same code in Firefox. Not sure what to make of that other than it seems like a console-breaking change in general for 3 very common terminals. For now I guess we post-pkg-install vim the config file and un-break the code... ?

@tepozoa if i recall correctly, firefox have builtin emoji font which is used when system one not installed or not configured properly, but i'm not in the mood helping to configure stuff on your arch desktop setup for free - you could find such help at arch bbs or subreddit

[tepozoa]

Way to victim-blame a questionable code change - there's nothing wrong with my or OP's base Arch system, a change was made to use some obscure emoji in pikaur code which is seemingly not compatible with the generic, functional Arch system of more than one person in more than one common terminal emulator. Users are trying to kindly bring forth the problem with the change, but "it's our fault." I'll stop commenting at this point.

victim-blame

such a vocabulary 👌😸 to express inability to configure emojis at desktop computer in 2024

[nebulosa2007]

Actually a lot of users haven't emoji font installed and now sees just broken glyphs. As a decision - please add optional/emplicit dependency to AUR package.

[actionless]

@nebulosa2007 mb i should also include into dependencies a video driver, because there are some potential dumbheads who are just sitting in front of blank monitor, not knowing why it's not displaying anything?

that's not what package dependencies for

[actionless]

also, i wonder how soon users of one very wonderful terminal who just literally crashing on emojis would come and whine here instead of trying to remove the crash from the terminal code

hint: all your whining really doesn't matter a bit and ONLY causing annoyance unless prior to whining you contributed any code or money into the project
