🗹 Requirements

• I have searched the issues for my issue and found nothing related and/or helpful
• I have searched the FAQ for help
• I have searched the Wiki for help

🎯 Subject of the issue

Experienced behavior:
Patcher overrides Fira Code progress bars and spinners with Font Awesome icons, causing compatibility issues in terminals that have already implemented custom box-drawing for them and also with software that has support for those symbols as progress bars and spinners.

Expected behavior:
Nerd Fonts patcher should not override those symbols.

Example symbols:
U+EE00-U+EE0B (            )

🔧 Your Setup

• Which font are you using (e.g. Anonymice Powerline Nerd Font Complete.ttf)?
  • IosevkaTermNerdFont-{Regular,Bold,Italic}.ttf
• Where did you get the file from (download link, self patched, source downloaded from link...)
  • https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/ttf-iosevkaterm-nerd/
• Which terminal emulator are you using (e.g. iterm2, urxvt, gnome, konsole)?
  • Wezterm, Kitty
• Are you using OS X, Linux or Windows? And which specific version or distribution?
  • Arch Linux

Ugg, that is not good news.

in terminals that have already implemented custom box-drawing for them and also with software that has support for those symbols as progress bars and spinners

Can you list some and maybe show (with an old font) what they do?
