Same Issue Here. Trying to find a resolution. I am thinking of adding a Glyph instead of unicodes.

Make sure the font is correct, by checking with fc-list. I had this issue but I had to restart, which fixed this.

If fixed, please close.

fc-list|grep JetBrainsMono returns

I test the same command with another fonts, and also changing JetBrainsMono NF with JetBrainsMono Nerd Font but same result

Rofi is not supported in wayland, there is a fork named wofi for this which is not supported by this script.

Just a small update in case anyone else has the same problem:
In case you lack an icon font consider the patched Nerd Fonts.

In rofi font families need to be adjusted via CSS for the appropiate element (e.g., the top level window) to fix the issue of missing glyps, e.g.:

window {
  font-family: JetBrainsMono, JetBrainsMonoNerdFontMono, monospace; 
}

The CSS file with this rule should be referenced with @theme "<path to CSS file>" in the config.rasi for rofi.

Note: To find the name of a font family on Linux: fc-list | grep -i <name>. To check if a name, e.g., JetBrainsMonoNerdFontMono is matched properly, use fc-match <name>. You can '...' use single quotes for escaping whitespace.
