I don't know.  This recipe works for me in Emacs 26:

  emacs -Q
  Type:

    (setq visual-line-fringe-indicators '(left-curly-arrow right-curly-arrow))

  Evaluate the above sexp by putting point at its end and pressing
  "C-x C-e" or C-j.
  M-x visual-line-mode RET

If it doesn't work for you, try toggling visual-line-mode after
setting visual-line-fringe-indicators, maybe you set the variable
after visual-line-mode was already turned on.
