Screenshot showing two different konsole windows + system information

SUMMARY
I have installed oh-my-zsh and the powerlevel9k theme. When opening Konsole through the shortcut I configured in the KDE global shortcuts menu, the Powerline symbols display perfectly (I have not had to install these separately).
When opening Konsole through the application launcher (or from existing Konsole), the powerline symbols are not found, resulting in Konsole displaying the characters as unknown '???'
Using echo to display the glyphs has similar results

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install Powerlevel9k
2. Launch Konsole using shortcut
3. Launch Konsole using Application Launcher 

OBSERVED RESULT
Powerline glyphs do render in one case and do not render in other case

EXPECTED RESULT
Powerline glyphs rendering in both cases

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Difference was due to different encoding setting. Changing default encoding in my profile to UTF-8 resolved the issue
