• [X] I have searched the existing issues of noice.nvim
• [X] I have searched the existing issues of plugins related to this issue

Neovim version (nvim -v)

v.10.0

Operating system/version

Windows 10

Describe the bug

Using suggested configuration for Unicode symbols instead of Nerd Icons does not work in nvim-notify backend.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Use repro.lua
2. Run echoerr "test"
3. See that notification icon is not the unicode X but instead (for me) displays as invalid character

Expected Behavior

Icon should be the specified X character from format.level.icons.error

Note that this configuration option does work with the backend that is selected if I remove the dependencies section from the repro.

Repro

vim.env.LAZY_STDPATH = ".repro"
load(vim.fn.system("curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/folke/lazy.nvim/main/bootstrap.lua"))()

require("lazy.minit").repro({

                    format = {

                        search_down = { icon = "🔍⌄" },
                        search_up = { icon = "🔍⌃" },
                        filter = { icon = "$" },

Same here, it doesn't work.

@SuperCuber @folke

Here's my workaround (using lazy):

return {
  'folke/noice.nvim',
  event = 'VeryLazy',
  opts = {},
  dependencies = {
    -- if you lazy-load any plugin below, make sure to add proper `module="..."` entries
    'MunifTanjim/nui.nvim',
    -- OPTIONAL:
    -- `nvim-notify` is only needed, if you want to use the notification view.
    -- If not available, we use `mini` as the fallback
    {
      'rcarriga/nvim-notify',
      opts = {
        icons = {
          ERROR = [[ ]],
          WARN = [[ ]],
          INFO = [[ ]],
        },
      },
    },
  }
}

That needs to be configured using nvim-notify
