I have upgraded my system with sudo pacman -Syu, then I opened a terminal and saw this.

Any suggestions, how to fix this issue?

It is possible you wrote your ~/.zshrc from a MS Windows editor which added a UTF-8 BOM at the start of the file? You may want to run LC_ALL=C sed -n l < ~/.zshrc to help you spot invisible characters in the file. – Stéphane Chazelas Jan 30 '21 at 08:17
You could also try LC_ALL=C zsh -x ~/.zshrc to clearly see what it being executed. – Stéphane Chazelas Jan 30 '21 at 08:20

MS also adds a carrage-return at the end of lines. – ctrl-alt-delor Jan 30 '21 at 09:34
If the above does not fix then show us the file ~/.zshrc, or at least the start of it, well at least line 1. And show text as text, images of text can be hard to read, especially by blind people. – ctrl-alt-delor Jan 30 '21 at 09:38
@StéphaneChazelas Thanks it helped me find out the fault.
@ctrl-alt-delor \357\273\277# Enable Powerlevel10k instant prompt. Should stay close \ to the top of ~/.zshrc.$ This is my first line of .zshrc file. So i just need to remove those BOM characters.
