Issue

On Linux,less, the most common pager, will no longer print Private Use Area characters by default.
I don't know when the transition took place, the version present in the Debian testing repositories (590) does still display Nerd-fonts characters, but the compiled master (633) no longer displays them.

A commit dated September 25, 2022 introduces a new option (LESSUTFCHARDEF) that allows you to declare the type of character display according to the code points range.

Using this option to declare code points listed in the wiki with the last version force less to display Nerd-fonts characters.

export LESSUTFCHARDEF=23fb-23fe:p,2665:p,26a1:p,2b58:p,e000-e00a:p,e0a0-e0a2:p,e0a3:p,e0b0-e0b3:p,e0b4-e0c8:p,e0ca:p,e0cc-e0d4:p,e200-e2a9:p,e300-e3e3:p,e5fa-e6a6:p,e700-e7c5:p,ea60-ebeb:p,f000-f2e0:p,f300-f32f:p,f400-f532:p,f500-fd46:p,f0001-f1af0:p

Solution

I think that instructions to export the correct variable should be given to Nerd-fonts users in the wiki or the readme.
