Wrong fonts in vim-airline

Question

I have vim-devicons installed (using vim-plug, and it is before vim-airline). But I don't see correct language glyphs.

Do you have nerd-fonts installed? What is the font Vim use (set guifont?)? What is the font of your running on your terminal if you use a terminal version of Vim? — Vivian De Smedt, Commented Sep 4 at 15:37
Maybe the How can I setup a nerdfont in lua answer could be of some help? — Vivian De Smedt, Commented Sep 4 at 15:43
Oh, I didn't have nerd-fonts installed. Installing it fixed everything. Thanks a lot. — weirdsmiley, Commented Sep 5 at 2:35

In order for vim-devicons to work smooth you need:

Make sure encoding is set to utf-8 (:set encoding=utf-8)
Install a nerd-font
Make sure Vim uses that nerd font by either:

a. Setting guifont to the name of the nerd-font (e.g.: set guifont=JetBrainMono\ NFM:h9:cAINSI) if you are using gVim. More on that with the following answer: How can I setup a nerd font

b. Make sure your terminal program is using that nerd font.
Install vim-devicons
