What language do you have set on your system and what terminal are you using?

proxy@sh.itjust.works on 16 Sep 2024 16:36 collapse

English and Konsole. I’ve installed many Flatpaks in the past, but this is the first time I’ve encountered this issue.

Try to change it to English.

Oh then it can be a broken update.

I have not install may Flatpaks on this linux install just past. Sorry my system language is set to American English

not to be that guy . but have you tried to search for an answer?

github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/4435

first hit on “flatpak question marks”… it’s due to the font you use in the terminal does not support or not fully support Unicode characters or your locale settings are not correct.

hope this helps and answers your question :)

(edit, lost part of a sentence)

See, this is how to be that guy but actually be nice and helpful at the same time. Good on you

thank you :)

Thanks. You needed to bee that guy.

you’re welcome :)

or since you probably are from Denmark since you mentioned Danish in your other comments:

🇩🇰 bare hyggelig, og håper du fikk løst problemet ditt 🇳🇴

Ja jeg er fra Danmark. Gætter på du er fra Norge, havde ikke lige regnet med, at der var nogle fra Skandinavien her, men det giver god mening. Jeg har desvære ikke haft tid til at få installeret en font endnu, men jeg installer nok Nerd Fonts i weekenden.

Er jo en hel Lemmy instans for Danmark her, så det finnes nok flere av osw, og ja, jeg er fra Norge 🙂

Håper det ordner seg når du får installert ny font når du har tid og anledning til det 🙂

Install Nerd Fonts.

What does the locale command say? Have you tried to change a font?
