Hello @shaykalyan

What powerline are you using in the example above?

If you are on ubuntu for example, I think you can just use sudo apt install fonts-powerline?

Once done, seems like system didn't recognize them cause I can't use. Is this right?

I just rebooted and it was working properly thereafter

I just had to change the terminal preferences to use the chosen font to make it work for Pop!_OS
