How can I display the unicode symbols in my i3 status? They show up just fine in my editor, but when loading in i3 status the wrong symbol is displayed

Hi. To me the format displayed doesn't make much sense. For example, in my editor I see À in volume and ÈÈÈ È after time. And I see the same on the i3status. Is this how its supposed to be?
I pasted the output of i3status below.
À 66% | Î 0,88 | -4% | ± 54° | 58° | ¨ 307,0 GiB:/ | | Ð eth0 | mars-09 É 18:34 ¸ ÈÈÈ È | DHCP: yes | VPN: no | ☡ WiFi

No. I am using plain text now. Check it our here https://github.com/saki92/i3status/blob/main/config
