Research direction
Investigate the rendering of icons in NERDTree by testing different terminal emulators and font configurations. The issue likely relates to the width of icon glyphs or terminal settings. Review the vim devicons source code, particularly the autoload directory, for how icons are added to NERDTree. Check if any pull requests or comments have proposed fixes that were not merged.
