AFAIK from [urxvt ref] and some other It's because of poor rendering of different width characters by urxvt

Try launching urxvt using urxvt -fn "xft:<some compatible font>". I'm attaching two screen shots that shows both working and non-working urxvt.

I'm using Terminess (TTF) Nerd Font Complete Mono.ttf.
https://github.com/JayceCao/config_files/raw/master/Terminess%20(TTF)%20Nerd%20Font%20Complete%20Mono.ttf.

This is related to the terminal emulator and font configuration. This has nothing to do with the spaceship theme. I would suggest testing with other powerline patched fonts.

I'm closing this issue as resolved. @JayceCao if you still have questions, feel free to reopen.

I think your system lacks some Unicode characters, you may need to install the ttf-ancient-fonts package
@JayceCao

[codejamninja]

Thanks @fppaess, that worked for me.
