checkbox icon display error

[lythu95]

When executing check box examples, I found the check box icons were not displaying normally. I suppose it may be text encoding issue.

Hi @lythu95 ,

Thanks for reporting. I wasn't aware that the default icon is not as compatible as I would like. I'll do an update on the default icon for checkbox to make sure its more compatible.

Just a quick question about your environment, what terminal emulator and font are you using?

In the meantime, you can use the enabled_symbol and disabled_symbol parameter to change to a different icon.

Thanks,
Kevin

Thanks for quick response @kazhala

I executed this script on a remote server [CentOS linux 7.9.2009 / GNU bash 4.2.46 ].
SSH client is MobaXterm v12.03 build 4208, font setting being MobaFont with Charset UTF-8

I really appriciate your work on inquirerpy, which helps me a lot after PyInquirer stopped updating.

Thanks,
lythu95

Hi @lythu95,

After some investigation and searching, doesn't seem like an encoding issue since python3 auto detects Unicode string and use utf8 encoding. I can also see that the pointer symbol/icon is showing without issues.

It's probably just both the hexagon icon is not that widely supported in some of the fonts. I've changed the default icon to Unicode circles.

Could you take a look at the latest master and re-run the examples to see if you could see the checkbox properly this time?

Thanks,
Kevin

Hi @kazhala ,
Now it works well and the circle icon displays normally. Thanks for your efforts!
