Fira Mono ( Fira Mono Regular Nerd Font Complete Mono ) from

https://www.nerdfonts.com/font-downloads ( FiraMono Nerd Font )

https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/releases/download/v2.1.0/FiraMono.zip

install 'FiraMono Nerd Font Mono'

FiraMono works ok with some Linux distros + VSCode

for windows I needed to add this to VSCode settings.json :

{
    "terminal.integrated.fontFamily": "'FiraMono NF'",
}

and depending on the OS / distro you may need to experiment with different fonts and even font families

windows Terminal Prompt will need also to be changed from using a default of something like Cascadia Mono to be that of your chosen nerd font, for example FiraMono NF ( to be found under Terminal Promp's own Settings, selecting the profile for powershell and looking for Font face under 'Appearance' ( for that particular 'profile' )
