Incorrect display status unicode characters. 0.7.7

[deLmeY]

When containers status - RUN.

When containers status - STOPED.

I was doing:

• Test this case on all fonts.
• Changed locale.

Characters is working correct only with v.0.7.6 and may be lower.

OC: Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS.

Same on Linux Mint 21 (Vanessa) based on Ubuntu Jammy (22.04 LTS):

The current font is Monospace, but other fonts render out a quite similar artefact.

Well, if I run the same version 0.7.7 on a Linux host and connect to it from Windows using MSYS2 environemnt + MinTTY emulator, the rendering drastically changes:

The font used here is Lucida Console, but I went through all other fonts in that dialog box, and the view of these symbols has the same style so to say.

My wish is to try earlier versions and see if they did work better for me.

Worked fine indeed prior to 0.7.7

Same here (v0.7.7):

Ubuntu Server with NF fonts via SSH. I've tried with many fonts, just like the others.

I use FiraCode Nerd Font and the character is not correctly rendered:

Surprisingly, this issue is still present. Over SSH I'm experiencing the exact same thing as others have mentioned and my symbols shown next to the Docker containers are the same as the screenshots here.

Dev, @bcicen: Two years later and no interest in resolving this problem? Have you lost interest in this project?

I really like ctop, because of it's simple, easy, and straight-forward features. The ability to quickly launch and handle container actions is a huge benefit. Would love to see this project updates.

This issue sems to be a problem with ctop not using standard UTF-8 character sets or deferring to the OS correctly. When viewed on the system with a keyboard and mouse, ctop shows the correct symbols next to each container. When viewed over SSH, such as Putty or Kitty, the incorrect character set is selected in ctop, and it cannot be changed in the SSH terminal. I went through my available fonts, sizes, and font encoding options, and some of the font encoding options, such as Western, Greek, etc, change the incorrect symbols to something like “âµ” but none of the character options forces ctop to display the symbols correctly.
