Note: I've had to change /sys/devices/platform/coretemp.0/temp2_input/sys/devices/platform/coretemp.0/hwmon/hwmon2/temp2_input. Otherwise I was getting errors like:

i3status: Cannot read temperature. Verify that you have a thermal zone in /sys/class/thermal or disable the cpu_temperature module in your i3status config.

FTR (just in case the path get lost again):I found the path with find /sys/devices/platform/coretemp.*/ | grep input.

In Ubuntu 14.04 I had to change /sys/devices/platform/coretemp.0/temp2_input to /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp or to /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/temp_input0

How can I display the unicode symbols in my i3 status? They show up just fine in my editor, but when loading in i3 status the wrong symbol is displayed

Hi. To me the format displayed doesn't make much sense. For example, in my editor I see À in volume and ÈÈÈ È after time. And I see the same on the i3status. Is this how its supposed to be?
I pasted the output of i3status below.
À 66% | Î 0,88 | -4% | ± 54° | 58° | ¨ 307,0 GiB:/ | | Ð eth0 | mars-09 É 18:34 ¸ ÈÈÈ È | DHCP: yes | VPN: no | ☡ WiFi
