Description Stefan Huber 2021-02-13 19:58:42 UTC 
SUMMARY

The letter '4' is truncated (only the left half is shown) for this output:
echo "$fg_bold[green]⬢ v14.15.4"

It seem to be caused by the combination of a bold font and the "black hexagon" U+2B22, because also in this minimum example the "black hexagon" U+2B22 is cut off:
echo -e "$fg_bold[green] \xe2\xac\xa2" 

It does NOT happen for this command:
echo "$⬢ v14.15.4" 

It does NOT happen for this command:
echo "$fg_bold[green]v14.15.4" 

The symbol ⬢ is produced by starship (in zsh) by the NodeJS module:
https://starship.rs/config/#nodejs

OBSERVED RESULT

Consider the output of
echo -e "$fg_bold[green] \xe2\xac\xa2 whatever$fg[blue]hello"

Then the last character (here: 'r') of the bold output is not fully displayed but truncated. Only the left half is shown.

Comment 2 Charles Bouchard-Légaré 2021-03-08 14:15:19 UTC 
I see this issue with all monospace font on my machine except for Noto Mono Emoji.  When I use a non-monospace font, no characters are truncated.
