terminal fonts

unicorn

When I run curl wttr.in in terminal, I saw many characters shown as ��. How to solve it? thanks

unicorn which "terminal" do you mean? Standard xterm should work correctly with the UTF-8 chars. sent by wttr.in. If you're running this on the NetBSD console, however, you'll have to do something like this:

curl -s wttr.in | iconv -s -f UTF-8 -t US-ASCII | tr '?' '.'

CiotBSD

Maybe, you need to install font. Maybe fault emoji font?
See: https://github.com/chubin/wttr.in#emojis-support

Why do you not publish your result?!

I use Xfce terminal, I get this with curl -s wttr.in | iconv -s -f UTF-8 -t US-ASCII, but better.

?????????????????????????

that should be a line.

unicorn I use Xfce terminal

Ok, then add something like this to the beginning of ~/.xinitrc (or ~/.xsession if you log-in using a display manager):

# Enable UTF-8 in X
export LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
export LC_CTYPE=$LANG
export LC_ALL=""

Anything ending in .UTF-8 will work: en_US.UTF-8, zh_CN.UTF-8, etc.
Then, make sure XFCE terminal uses a font which has plenty of Unicode coverage. For xterm, I have this in my ~/.Xresources:

XTerm*faceName:         DejaVu Sans Mono
XTerm*faceNameDoublesize:       Noto Sans Mono CJK KR
XTerm*VT100.font:       -misc-*-r-normal--20-*-iso10646-1
XTerm*VT100.wideFont:   -misc-*-r-normal-ko-18-*-iso10646-1

You'll need to install the Dejavu and Noto fonts, of course.

Works fine here on alacritty

But, I use wthrr instead,

For this you need a NerdFont (I'm using FantasqueSansMono, manually downloaded from NerdFonts) + noto-fonts + noto-emoji-ttfpackages

Can that output straight ASCII, or does only output UTF-8?

Haven't looked, but I'd guess you are already investigating, https://github.com/tobealive/wthrr-the-weathercrab

The good thing is that you can have a local config file with the things you want to display.
Here's mine,
