Description

Using in Windows, Cygwin inside ConEmu. I've tried Hack and Sauce Code Powerline - I still get a bunch of squares instead of smilies :) What recommended console font includes all the presented special characters?

Research direction
Check the issue comments (only one so far) and any related documentation in the repository about special character display. Look for common nerdfonts or powerline fonts that work on Windows with Cygwin/ConEmu. Consider updating the README or adding a FAQ entry about recommended terminal fonts for Windows users.
