Getting question mark boxes instead of <leader>, etc

[bshackett]

I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, or if this is expected.

But with this minimal config file (on the latest version of neovim and lazy.nvim and which-key.nvim) I'm getting question boxes.

vim.g.mapleader = ' '

local map = vim.keymap.set

local lazypath = vim.fn.stdpath("data") .. "/lazy/lazy.nvim"
if not vim.loop.fs_stat(lazypath) then
  vim.fn.system({ "git", "clone", "--filter=blob:none", "https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim.git", "--branch=stable", lazypath })
end
vim.opt.rtp:prepend(lazypath)

require("lazy").setup({
  {
    "folke/which-key.nvim",
    event = "VeryLazy",
    config = function()
      require("which-key").setup({})
    end,
  },
})

map('n', '<leader>th', function() vim.opt.hlsearch = not vim.opt.hlsearch:get() end, { desc = 'Toggle highlight search' })
map('n', '<leader>tcl', function() vim.opt.cursorline = not vim.opt.cursorline:get() end, { desc = 'Toggle cursorline' })
map('n', '<leader>tn', function() vim.opt.relativenumber = not vim.opt.relativenumber:get() end, { desc = 'Toggle line numbers' })
map('n', '<leader>tw', function() vim.opt.linebreak = not vim.opt.linebreak:get() end, { desc = 'Toggle word wrap' })

nvim -u /tmp/minimal_init.lua file.txt

And then if I type <space>t I see:

I found one YouTube video where <leader> shows up as expected when the user types spacebar (the leader key).

I'm using iTerm2, if that's relevant.

If this is the expected default behaviour, how do I get the question mark boxes to go away? I've tried installing nvim-web-devicons and mini.icons but neither seemed to resolve the issue.

If this isn't the expected default behaviour, any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong?

Solved: I had to download and install a font from https://www.nerdfonts.com/

I was confused in part because opts = { icons = { mappings = false } }, did not resolve my issue. For more information see:
