Unrendered icon next to clock

[Yankas]

I have an issue with spacebar displaying a question mark icon to the left of the clock, this issue occurs with both my configuration as well as the default configuration (renamed spacebarrc). I have attached a screenshot of a yabai installation without any configuration applied.

MacOS Big Sur 11.6
Spacebar: 1.3.0

Just a wild guess, but maybe you don't have the font set properly. I would make sure you have these two fonts, or replace them with fonts you do have.

spacebar -m config text_font                   "Menlo:Regular:12.0"
spacebar -m config icon_font                   "Font Awesome 5 Free:Solid:12.0"

Changing the font does not resolve the issue, the font is applied correctly, but the extra question-mark icon is still there.

Could you try one of the fonts here https://www.nerdfonts.com/?

I was unable to solve this problem with NerdFonts (having installed them).

spacebar -m config icon_font            "Hack Nerd Font:Regular:12.0"

I still had a rendered question mark in the exact same spot as the screenshot above.

I was able to solve the problem by hard-coding a system icon as clock_icon:

spacebar -m config clock_icon              "🕰"

It's not ideal, but it makes the question mark go away.

@StephenWithPH How did you install Nerd Font?

I installed it using homebrew then this problem solved.

Is there no way to hide this entirely?

Using a blank character as the icon worked.
