I don't use Ranger, but I found this on the net: https://github.com/alexanderjeurissen/ranger_devicons. Hope it works out!

If you use ranger and like exa's icons, I suggest trying the ranger devicon plugin.

ranger with icons, syntax highlighting and previews (images, videos, pdf, etc)

It's probably a good idea to file an issue here.

Two by far the most popular plugins are zsh-syntax-highlighting and zsh-autosuggestions. They are of high quality and quite useful.
