Line CLI's screen looks garbled or has strange symbols

TroubleshootingUpdated November 2, 2026

Try these in order:

Resize the terminal window slightly; Line redraws.
Font: choose a font with good Unicode coverage (boxes instead of ✻, ✓ or bars mean missing glyphs).
Terminal: use a modern terminal (Windows Terminal, iTerm2, GNOME Terminal and similar).
Arabic text broken or reversed: /rtl on, or /rtl terminal if your terminal handles bidi itself.
Through SSH/tmux: make sure your TERM setting supports colours (for example xterm-256color).
