Hi, I have Firefox installed and I noticed that some symbols are shown in place of Arabic and Chinese symbols like this, it also happens with some icons from nvim-web-devicons.

My /etc/portage/make.conf is:
Code:
COMMON_FLAGS="-march=znver2 -O2 -pipe"

CFLAGS="${COMMON_FLAGS}"
CXXFLAGS="${COMMON_FLAGS}"
FCFLAGS="${COMMON_FLAGS}"
FFLAGS="${COMMON_FLAGS}"

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~amd64"
ACCEPT_LICENSE="*"
INPUT_DEVICES="libinput mouse keyboard synaptics"
USE="elogind -systemd swaybar wayland X xorg dbus hwaccel jpeg git ssh threads persist postproc cups text bluetooth icu nss pulseaudio minizip -kde gui curl gnuplot opengl readline vulkan googledrive cairo egl pdf acpi alsa speex v4l lua screencast x264 npm gtk gtk3 -doc udev -networkmanager pipewire"
VIDEO_CARDS="amdgpu radeonsi radeon"

CCACHE_DIR="/var/cache/ccache"
EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--quiet-build=y"
FEATURES="ccache"
GRUB_PLATFORMS="efi-64"
MAKEOPTS="-j16"

DISTDIR="/var/cache/distfiles"
PKGDIR="/var/cache/binpkgs"
PORTDIR="/var/db/repos/gentoo"

LC_MESSAGES=C

GENTOO_MIRRORS="https://gentoo.c3sl.ufpr.br/"


My /etc/portage/package.use/firefox is:
Code:
www-client/firefox -wifi


Does anybody know why does this happens?

This is due the lack of fonts for those symbols, you may take a look at font-noto.

I second sergiotarxz answer. Installing media-fonts/noto-cjk should do the trick
