I will look into the UTF table. I am not using UTF8, nor was I planning on it. The characters were indeed something else before I modified the font, so I made them myself. In order to print the two character wide wifi bar, the script of course prints two seperate characters one after another followed by a newline. The battery script does likewise by printing 3 characters. My terminal does not have the abillity to turn one character into two (at least that i am aware of). My terminal always handles the scripts as expected when run as a command from the terminal. The only issues I have had with them, or the modified characters and font is when they are used on the tmux statusbar.
