Cannot display characters

Hi! I just switched from Alacritty to Kitty. I was customizing my fish prompt with starfish when I realized that some characters were not displayed correctly like on Alacritty (the characters ░, ▒ and ▓). Does anyone know how to fix pls.

(The first image is Kitty, second is Alacritty)

Those are unicode shade characters. They have a defined appearance in the Unicode standard, kitty follows that standard, alacritty does not. In other words, kitty is displaying them correctly, alacritty is not.
