You can configure other symbols, please check the [Documentation](https://github.com/vim-airline/vim-airline/blob/ebb89a0846ff8b8bc64579155d661b825f97d3f2/doc/airline.txt#L369-L389). You can check how it looks like in your terminal using the following command: +```vim + for i in items(g:airline_symbols)|echo i[0] .. ':-'.. i[1] .. '-'|endfor +``` +If any of the symbols does not look right, you can configure it in your `.vimrc` like this, in this case changing the `colnr` indicator: +```vim + if !exists('g:airline_symbols') + let g:airline_symbols = {} + endif + + let g:airline_symbols.colnr = ' ℅:' +``` #### The powerline font symbols are not showing up Adding `let g:airline_powerline_fonts = 1` to your vimrc will automatically populate the `g:airline_symbols` dictionary with the proper font glyphs for various symbols.
