Escaped characters(?) in output for PID and CPU.

I'm getting odd escaped characters or something in my output for PID and CPU columns. Unsure where to start to troubleshoot this.

Could you explain your environment?
Especially terminal emulator.
yeah, after I hit submit I realized should've done this.

bdmorin@phester:~$ env | fgrep -i term
COLORTERM=truecolor
GNOME_TERMINAL_SCREEN=/org/gnome/Terminal/screen/816aed81_859c_4c68_b830_9baaca3902b4
TERM=xterm-256color
GNOME_TERMINAL_SERVICE=:1.257
ZSH_TMUX_TERM=screen-256color
wider view, but obviously the same result.
I also tried this on a remote host, with
env | fgrep -i term
TERM=xterm
same behaviour
The characters seems to be unicode character like │, ▲.
Please check gnome terminal setting: Terminal -> Set Character Encoding -> UTF-8.
Hmm.. I think it's set like that now.
I'm installing alacritty/kitty now, a different term emulator.
Can your terminal show "▲"?
i copied that character and pasted it in my terminal, it seemed to work.
Could you try procs --pager disable?
Welp.. That did it.
❯ env | rg -i less
LESS=-iRFXMx4
LESSOPEN=| /usr/bin/env lesspipe %s 2>&-
❯ unset LESS
❯ unset LESSOPEN
❯ env | rg -i less
After clearing these the same thing still happened. I'll look further at my pager settings.
procs doesn't check LESS environment variable. If less command exists, less -SR is used.
It is wrong. LESS is used by less.
What is your less version?
I found the similar issue.
https://serverfault.com/questions/414760/how-to-make-the-less-command-handle-utf-8
Could you try below?
export LESSCHARSET=utf-8
❯ less -V
less 487 (GNU regular expressions)

export LESSCHARSET=utf-8
That did it!! YAY!
Thanks! I love procs!
Thanks!
Thanks for solving this, had the exact same issue with the same less version on Ubuntu 18.
Probably a note in the README file would help future ubuntu users.
Great software by the way, thanks for open-sourcing it.
Thank you for your comment. I added installation note.
Is there a reason why this is not a default? Maybe we can create a bug report for Ubuntu or upstream less, so that this does not need to be changed. I don't really see a downside of using utf-8.
I don't know the reason. But It seems to be intended by the author
bacause there is the solution using LESSCHARSET in the official FAQ.
