Hello everyone, after recovering my system some things were modified and I can’t find a solution, both in Tint2 and in the side panels I get these symbols as if it doesn’t recognize UTF or there is a fault that I can’t find, I’ve been reviewing the configuration files but I can’t find any error.
Altered pacman.conf 
I see a buggy version of jgmenu here, which does not come from the Mabox repositories.
I suspect that you have unwittingly modified ~/etc/pacman.conf. With the .pacnew files provided by Manjaro
And it looks like you do not have the Mabox repository configured at all.
It is better not to apply the changes provided by the .pacnew files if you do not understand what they do.
I have the impression that this is yet another situation of this type and I have already written to you about .pacnew files.
Generally, there is no reason to worry about them at all - and they are certainly not for blind application.

Hi,
It is true that we have already discussed this and I appreciated your response.
I was forced to make the change because I couldn’t upgrade, once the modification was done I recovered the system and was able to update keys, mirrors and other components.
As I couldn’t get any answers to help me recover my Mabox I used the alternatives I found in the Manjaro forum.
Thanks for the tip, now I will see how to recover the Mabox repositories.
Thank you very much for the tip, I’ll see now how to recover the Mabox repositories.
Why you removed [maboxlinux] repo from pacman.conf? You should keep orginal file and restore it after fixing keys problems.
Copy of Mabox original pacman.conf is located at /usr/share/mabox/common/pacman.conf
Problem is… you have already important packages altered with packages from Manjaro repos.
For sure jgmenu, also: ttf-nerd-fonts-symbols-common, ttf-nerd-fonts-symbols-2048-em, ttf-nerd-fonts-symbols-2048-em-mono - those can be seen on your screenshot.
Possibly many more less important packages.
After fixing pacman.conf. You might try to reinstall them.

Sorry if I misspoke, what I meant was that I had to merge the files in order to go ahead with the updates, not delete the Mabox repository.
I guess when I merged them, it got lost and I didn’t realise it. I will now try to fix it with your instructions.
Thank you very much.
Solved, I changed pacman.conf to the original saved one, reinstalled jgmenu and performed a pacman -Syu.
Everything went back to normal, maybe with the use some other misplaced thing will appear that I will correct in due time.
Thank you very much.
