Environment
- OS: Ubuntu 26.04 LTS (fresh install, released 2026-04-24)
- Claude Code: 2.1.120 (also reproduced on 2.1.119)
- Terminals tested: Ptyxis (VTE_VERSION=8400), xterm
- Shells tested: bash, zsh
- TERM=xterm-256color, COLORTERM=truecolor, LANG=en_US.UTF-8
- Font: JetBrains Mono Nerd Font
Description
U+23F5 (⏵ BLACK MEDIUM RIGHT-POINTING TRIANGLE) renders as a tofu box in Claude Code's TUI. Observed in the accept-edits UI element and in plan mode.
Steps to Reproduce
- Fresh install of Ubuntu 26.04 LTS
- Install Claude Code
- Open any terminal emulator
- Launch Claude Code and observe the accept-edits UI or enter plan mode
What I Tried
- Both bash and zsh (both affected)
- Two different terminal emulators: Ptyxis and xterm (both affected)
- Stripped environment via
env -i HOME=$HOME PATH=$PATH TERM=xterm-256color claude(still affected) - Bare shell configs (still affected)
- Older Claude Code version 2.1.119 (still affected)
- Character renders correctly in the terminal outside Claude Code
system wcwidth()returns 1 for the character- locale is en_US.UTF-8
Conclusion
Issue appears specific to Claude Code's TUI rendering on Ubuntu 26.04. Not reproducible in the shell itself — only within Claude Code's TUI.
