If you are using vim in the Terminal on OSX, check that the environment variables `LC_ALL` and `LANG` are set to a sensible value (such as en_US.UTF8). If `:echo &encoding` does not show `utf8` there is a very good chance that these settings are not correct.
If you are using vim in iTerm, make sure transparency is turned off in the iTerm preferences, and that the minimum contrast slider is set to the lowest position. In iTerm2, also make sure that you set both the regular font and the non-ASCII font to a patched powerline font.
If you are using fontconfig, make sure bitmap fonts are not disabled. That rule, if exists, is usually under /etc/fonts/conf.d/70-no-bitmaps.conf for linux users, which might be a symbolic link. If that's the case, remove that link so that bitmap fonts are available system-wide.
Also make sure Terminal uses the same font style (e.g. Meslo) as specified in your vimrc.
