You're referring to two different plugins. vim-powerline is the old vim-only project. Lokaltog/powerline is a new Python-based port, and the code points have changed in this version because the old code points caused a bunch of issues.

You'll have to either:

1. Update your bundle to point to vim-powerline (and remove the rtp option), or
2. Update your font to one of the fonts in https://github.com/Lokaltog/powerline-fonts (or patch your own)
