Details

Description:
As you can see in the attached screenshot, unicode characters aren't rendered correctly. I tried both gnome-terminal and alacritty to ensure this is not caused by my terminal emulator. Therefore the issue seems to be related to ncursesw but I don't have further insight unfortunately.

Additional info:
package versions: kakoune 2019.01.20-1 / ncurses 6.1-6

Steps to reproduce:
Run kakoune with ncurses in the specified (current) version

Can't reproduce, tried tilix, alacritty, kitty, terminator and termite. It seems weird to me because that's not a font issue, ugh.

Oh thanks for the tip, you're right! Something else screwed up the locale configuration recently so that the LANG variable is not set any more. Doing so manually fixes the issue...
