Subject: [PATCH] docs: correct font requirement to emoji-capable, not Nerd
 Font
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The install note and README claimed a Nerd Font was required. A codepoint
audit of the glyphs confirms none fall in the Private Use Area — they are
standard emoji and block-drawing characters that render via the OS emoji
fallback. Overstating the requirement would push users to install fonts
they do not need and imply the statusline breaks without one, which it
does not.
