Starship ▶ prompt turns into orange emoji box in Ghostty

Google Sans Code (and its Nerd Font build) has no glyph for U+25B6 ▶, so Ghostty falls back to Noto Color Emoji and renders the emoji-presentation ▶️ (an orange square) as the starship character. Diagnose with ghostty +show-face --string=▶, which names the face actually used. Fix: swap to U+25BA ► (present in Google Sans Code, no emoji variant) or ❯ / a Nerd Font play icon. Check other glyphs the same way after any font switch, since fallback silently picks emoji fonts for characters that have emoji presentations.
