Few eza icons different compared to exa icons

[ Issue ]

Few eza icons seem to look invalid compared to exa icons.

Please have a look at the below screenshot: Left: exa & right: eza

Here have look at the file named .bash_history, .bash_logout, .bashrc & .profile on the right which are output
from eza using the command alias ls='eza -lagh --time-style=long-iso --group-directories-first --icons' they
are all displayed with icon #! which seem invalid as compared to left output using exa.

Is this expected outcome using eza ?

Yes, this is intentional.

We refactored around a lot in the icons module and in the process also added and changed icons and filename/extension bindings based on user requests and also our own judgement. Some of the conversation around this can be found here #196, and the changes by searching for "icons" in the PRs (https://github.com/eza-community/eza/pulls?q=is%3Apr+icons+) or the CHANGELOG.md (https://github.com/eza-community/eza/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md).

Whether we improved things is obviously partly subjective and a matter of taste, but that is one reason we are currently working on a config file feature that would also allow users to override icons, see #840
