Exact steps to reproduce the issue

You didn't specify which icons you are using or which font or which terminal etc. Please follow the steps in the wiki and make sure your environment is properly configured https://github.com/jarun/nnn/wiki/Advanced-use-cases#file-icons

Thanks @N-R-K!

I just installed with brew. I'm on the latest version.

https://github.com/jarun/nnn/wiki/Advanced-use-cases#file-icons says:

They are turned off by default and are not provided in the default distribution to avoid shipping third party resources.

Which is interesting. Not sure how they got turned on.

Not sure how they got turned on

Homebrew is likely enabling nerd icons by default. Which is a poor choice because not everyone uses nerd font.

If they want to enable icons by default using emoji icons is the better choice because most terminals and/or fonts should support emojies.

In any case, this isn't something we can fix. You'll have to open an issue on homebrew repo.

Quite odd indeed; thanks for the help @N-R-K.
