Originally created by @patriksvensson on GitHub (Jan 10, 2021).

Environment

Windows build number: 10.0.19041.0
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 1.4.3243.0

Steps to reproduce

If I press the Win + . key combination and insert an emoji in Windows terminal, it inserts ”??” even if the terminal input/output encoding should support it.

Writing a Unicode sequence representing the emoji from a C# program or PowerShell script outputs the emoji as expected.

Expected behavior

It insert the selected emoji.

Actual behavior

It doesn't insert the emoji.
It inserts "??" instead.

Hard to tell without the bug template including version number, which shell/other software you're using, etc. 😄

This sure looks like #1503 and #190 to me. Emoji in the input line just don't play nice quite yet.

/dup #190
/dup #1503

If you're using PowerShell, there's an additional PSReadline issue preventing this from working properly.
