Xfce terminal isn't displaying characters properly

I am using Xfce4-Terminal with BSPWM and some applications aren’t displaying characters correctly:

Example of lazygit:

I am wondering if it is because the locale configuration is wrong? That is a wild stab in the dark though:

locale outputs this:

locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: Invalid argument
LANG=en_GB.utf8
LC_CTYPE="en_GB.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_GB.utf8"
LC_TIME="en_GB.utf8"
LC_COLLATE="en_GB.utf8"
LC_MONETARY="en_GB.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_GB.utf8"
LC_PAPER="en_GB.utf8"
LC_NAME="en_GB.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS=en_GB.UTF-8/UTF-8\ LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_GB.UTF-8/UTF-8\ LC_MEASUREMENT=en_GB.UTF-8/UTF-8\ LC_MONETARY=en_GB.UTF-8/UTF-8\ LC_NAME=en_GB.UTF-8/UTF-8\ LC_NUMERIC=en_GB.UTF-8/UTF-8\ LC_PAPER=en_GB.UTF-8/UTF-8\ LC_TELEPHONE=en_GB.UTF-8/UTF-8\ LC_TIME=en_GB.UTF-8/UTF-8\ 
LC_TELEPHONE="en_GB.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_GB.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_GB.utf8"
LC_ALL=

Is this locale wrong at all?

Why is the terminal not displaying correctly?

I solved my own problem - I set the encoding to UTF-8 in the preferences and that seems to have solved it :slightly_smiling_face: :man_facepalming:

I’ll leave this here just in case someone else has an issue.
