Hi, I have question if it is possible to customize pwsh prompt like that without using any external software like oh-my-posh/starship.rs

the minimum you need is a font that supports those extra characters

#

otherwise, it's possible, it'll just take work to get it right

That font isn't a problem..

#

then basically all you have to do is write the content of your prompt function

#

that gets a big "just", that's a reasonably complicated prompt 🙂

#

well, Write-Host does not support that char.

split oxide May 17, 2023, 7:44 AM

#

#

make sure you safe it with at least a UTF8 BOM

#

you're using win PS, win PS is awful at guess-the-encoding and will assume ASCII

#

that'll break apart your unicode char and render it as two discreet chars
