I use `diminish-mode` to squash some minor mode names to single unicode
symbol, here are some of them: ⨠ ¬ ↻ ⧊ ⎌.  The issue appear not only for
Unicode symbols, but also for cyrillic characters too.

Yes, I mean GUI application.  I have two ways to launch GUI app — by
clicking on Emacs icon (the issue appears), and by command invocation in my
terminal; I use `fish` shell with default Mac OS Terminal app, the exact
command I'm using is

fish -c '/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs&'
