Do you have anything stashed? There was something added that does something like that to track stashes, except that the character is supposed to be 3 horizontal lines.

If it is a stash not sure how to fix it since I don't use osx.

yes, I had a stash, after clearing it with git stash clear, it worked!

That's a little worrying. The stash icon is unicode ≡ (indentical to). We had presumed most terminals would support it. What terminal emulator do you use and which version of bash?

[thomasdziedzic]

I use iTerm (with tmux sometimes).

Seeing this as well in Terminal, iTerm, and xterm running under XQuartz. Suspect it started after installing latest OS X update (10.11.1) this morning. Release notes mention: Adds over 150 new emoji characters with full Unicode 7.0 and 8.0 support.

Just want to confirm git stash clear gets rid of the ??'s, and running git stash after making local changes brings them back.

I fixed this on my local system by calling printf on the congruency/equivalency character in radar-base.sh:542:

printf $PRINT_F_OPTION "$number_stashes$COLOR_STASH`printf ≡`$RESET_COLOR_STASH"

Original:

printf $PRINT_F_OPTION "$number_stashes$COLOR_STASH≡$RESET_COLOR_STASH"

I'm still running Yosemite so it is not an El Capitan-specific issue. This is a dumb hacky fix that I pulled from surrounding code because I didn't feel like learning the bash way to do it - please don't judgy. 🍻

This leads me to believe that the unicode character is conflicting with either color escape sequences or is being gobbled up into the environment variable. Colors still work on local changes which follow the stash changes, so $RESET_COLOR_STASH is working properly.

This change fixes stash symbol rendering for iTerm2.app build 2.1.4 and Terminal.app Version 2.5.3 (343.7) on OS X 10.10.5 (14F1021).

This should be fixed now thanks to @matthillman pull #90. Closing.
