Arrow between path and git branch misaligned

[ismay]

As can be seen in these screenshots:

the < arrow between the path and the git branch is too low compared to the text surrounding it. For me this happens on macos with kitty. Judging from the command and option key labels in the top screenshot that's probably also on macos.

I can't test on linux right now, can do that later if necessary.

For reference, here's how it should look, and how it looks on my linux computer:

This "arrow" was supposed to illustrate the "merge" symbol.
I'd welcome suggestions of other characters which would be better displayed.

I've taken a look at this on linux (void & alacritty), and can confirm that there the arrow looks properly aligned. Not sure what's causing the misalignment on macos.
