I'm currently facing the problem that in st the pipe character | does not get printed in when using commands like curl wttr.in/london or in tmux.

echo "|" prints a pipe.

tmux etc. work fine in e.g. termite. I dont't even know where to look for a solution, do you have any idea?

wttr on my end

wttr.in creator here.

I have just installed stterm, just to make sure that I have the same problem, and indeed, it does not display wttr.in output at all. It crashes, as it tries to display a unicode character (it was ↘ in my case).

What you could do:

  1. Check if curl rate.sx works for you (it has vertical bars too);
  2. Try different options of wttr.in and check what of them do work and what does not (curl wttr.in/?0; curl wttr.in/?T etc.)
  3. How exactly wttr.in frames look in your case? Is it something like qxxxxx?

If the answer for the last question is yes, it is a pretty trivial problem. Please take a look at this question please: Tmux borders displayed as x q instead of lines?

In this case, the problem is that you have two options how you could draw frames:

  1. (how rate.sx does) use special unicode characters;
  2. q, x etc. and special terminal capabilities (how wttr.in does).

The solution could be to fix your termcap (as in the qeustion linked above).
