Hey, so I love the look of Parrot OS but im running Ubuntu and im going to stick with it. Im sort of a noob so can somebody please te me how to use this?

Open terminal, run $ ls -a to check .bashrc is listed.
$ mv .bashrc .bashrcBAK
$ touch .bashrc
$ nano .bashrc
ctrl + shift + v (to paste the code above into nano)
ctrl + o to write out the data (save it)
ctrl + x to exit nano
$ . ~/.bashrc (refreshed bash)

Hello @spadazz ,
In this case, the character "✗" is represented by the code \342\234\227

Following this reply, is there a place where we can find all glyphs and their corresponding codes?

Adding icons and shapes to your prompt!

For those wanting to customise more aspects of this prompt by changing for example the cross mark, the codes used to display the special characters are UTF-8 Octal encodings separated by backslashes.

This handy site can be used to convert UTF-8 strings to Octal.
e.g.: 🌱 corresponds to the code \360\237\214\261

If you don't know how to type the special character you are looking for, here's a step-by-step:

  1. Find the special character in this UTF-8 character list or in this UTF-8 icons website.
  2. Copy paste the character in your .bashrc or use this link to get the octal code and use it instead (it's best to use the octal encoding in the .bashrc).

More about UTF-8 Encoding can be found here.

I am a noob how would I use this to make Ubuntu look like parrot os? Also what coding language is that?

Go to your home directory you will find a hidden file .bashrc ( you can use ls -alt to find it ) modify it by replacing the already existing code with the code above.

I am copying exactly that .bshrc file and it seems it changed the outlook (Idk if any update to parrot may have done this or not....)

Anyone knows how to fix this?
