If you remove a character or st does operations on the terminal character-grid, this might mix things up as you're perceiving, leaving stray modifiers like 'COMBINING RING ABOVE' (U+030A) that might be rendered depending on the font used and appear as artifacts.

You may be using a broken font, can you reproduce the issue with a different one?
Re: [dev] [st] Undeleted parts of characters
Yes I can recreate it, not with the pipes and slashes but with swedish characters like "å" On 20/12/31 03:59, Quentin Rameau wrote: > > Hello, > > Hi Filip, > > > I do not know why but for some reason very long characters like "|" "/" > > "\" "å" etc does not get fully deleted in terminal.
