I have installed iTerm2 and Oh-my-zsh. However there is a weird question mark that is coming ever since I have changed ZSH-THEME to "agnoster".

Attaching the screenshot for the same.

check the question mark on terminal pointer

I thought powerline would help but that doesn't seem to happen. Can can anyone help me with this?

Installing a powerline patched font will solve this. This official documentation provides description about installing poweline fonts.

There are two ways to enable powerline patched font in iTerm2.

  1. Set a powerline patched font as default.

One defauls font

  1. Set a powerline patched font for only Non-ASCII characters and use another font for code.

Different fonts
