I am using Debian 10.5 with Cinnamon Desktop and am trying to display unicode icons in my Java program.

Example : When I try to use this unicode character, it displays fine in Windows 10, Ubuntu 20.04 with Gnome 3 but not with my Debian. My hunch so far is that the default fonts of those 3 systems being different, maybe the default font of my Debian (Sans Regular 9) doesn't support this unicode character ? Any idea if this is the actual issue and how to remedy this issue ? Thanks

Display in Debian Debian

Display in Win10 Win10

Display in ubuntu ubuntu

You're probably right about not having the right font package installed. I'd consult the Arch Wiki, it's very comprehensive about fonts generally but you'll often not be able to copy the commands literally.

This page might help you as well.
