Powerline is not displaying special symbols

can you help me to know why PowerLine Status is not showing special symbols in shell?

I'm working on Debian 8.3 and Powerline installed in this way: https://www.tecmint.com/powerline-adds-powerful-statuslines-and-prompts-to-vim-and-bash/

Try Installing powerline fonts. It should work

Also powerline-shell config changes from shell to shell

Follow the steps given in

It's almost certainly a limitation of the bitmap font used by the terminal emulator. If you have any option to switch to a TrueType font, try one that looks nice (though there might be none that looks exactly the same as what you're used to). Lucida Console or Consolas seem to be popular choices, or you can get some more suggestions here.
