This can be caused by a low-level bug in macOS. See
[this issue](https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k/issues/241).
This can also happen if prompt contains glyphs designated as "wide" in the Unicode standard and your
terminal incorrectly displays them as non-wide. Terminals suffering from this limitation include
Konsole, Hyper and the integrated VSCode Terminal. The solution is to use a different terminal or
remove all wide glyphs from prompt.

### Icons cut off in Konsole
When using Konsole with a non-monospace font, icons may be cut off on the right side. Here
"non-monospace" refers to any font with glyphs wider than a single column, or wider than two columns
for glyphs designated as "wide" in the Unicode standard.
![Icons cut off in Konsole](

The last line on the screenshot shows a cut off Arch Linux logo.
There are several mitigation options for this issue.
1. Use a different terminal. Konsole is the only terminal that exhibits this behavior.
2. Use a monospace font. For example, [the recommended Powerlevel10k font](
#meslo-nerd-font-patched-for-powerlevel10k).
3. Manually add an extra space after the icon that gets cut off. For example, if the content of
`os_icon` prompt segment gets cut off, open `~/.p10k.zsh`, search for
`POWERLEVEL9K_OS_ICON_CONTENT_EXPANSION` and change it as follows:
```zsh
typeset -g POWERLEVEL9K_OS_ICON_CONTENT_EXPANSION='%B${P9K_CONTENT} ' # extra space at the end
```
4. Use a different icon that isn't monospace. For example, if Arch Linux logo gets cut off, add
the following parameter to `~/.p10k.zsh`:
```zsh
typeset -g POWERLEVEL9K_LINUX_ARCH_ICON='Arch' # plain "Arch" in place of a logo
```
5. Disable the display of the icon that gets cut off. For example, if the content of
`os_icon` prompt segment gets cut off, open `~/.p10k.zsh` and remove `os_icon` from
`POWERLEVEL9K_LEFT_PROMPT_ELEMENTS` and `POWERLEVEL9K_RIGHT_PROMPT_ELEMENTS`.
*Note*: [Non-monospace fonts are not officially supported by Konsole](
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=418553#c5).
### Arch Linux logo has a dot in the bottom right corner
![Arch Linux Logo with a dot](
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k-media/master/arch-linux-logo-dot.png)
Some fonts have this incorrect dotted icon in bold typeface. There are two ways to fix this issue.
1. Use a font with a correct Arch Linux logo in bold typeface. For example,
[the recommended Powerlevel10k font](#meslo-nerd-font-patched-for-powerlevel10k).
2. Display the icon in regular (non-bold) typeface. To do this, open `~/.p10k.zsh`, search for
`POWERLEVEL9K_OS_ICON_CONTENT_EXPANSION` and and remove `%B` from its value.
```zsh
typeset -g POWERLEVEL9K_OS_ICON_CONTENT_EXPANSION='${P9K_CONTENT}' # not bold
```
