From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

not to be that guy . but have you tried to search for an answer?

https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/4435

first hit on "flatpak question marks".. it's due to the font you use in the terminal does not support or not fully support Unicode characters or your locale settings are not correct.

hope this helps and answers your question :)

(edit, lost part of a sentence)

you're welcome :)

or since you probably are from Denmark since you mentioned Danish in your other comments:

🇩🇰 bare hyggelig, og håper du fikk løst problemet ditt 🇳🇴

Ja jeg er fra Danmark. Gætter på du er fra Norge, havde ikke lige regnet med, at der var nogle fra Skandinavien her, men det giver god mening. Jeg har desvære ikke haft tid til at få installeret en font endnu, men jeg installer nok Nerd Fonts i weekenden.

Er jo en hel Lemmy instans for Danmark her, så det finnes nok flere av osw, og ja, jeg er fra Norge 🙂

Håper det ordner seg når du får installert ny font når du har tid og anledning til det 🙂
