In my REPL, I’m not getting a lot of tab-completion characters that I get in Jupyter and that I see in the official tab-completion list at [Unicode Input · The Julia Language](https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/manual/unicode-input/) . Is there a more comprehensive font I can download and add to my DOS window? I assume that font will be used in the REPL or do I have to load it into the REPL in some way?

Have you seen [JuliaMono](https://juliamono.netlify.app)?

On Windows, you need to set the font in the command prompt properties

I’d heavily recommend using the [Microsoft Terminal](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/windows-terminal/9n0dx20hk701?activetab=pivot:overviewtab) instead, fwiw.
