Environment

Windows build number: 18363.1256
Windows Terminal version (if applicable):Version: 1.4.3243.0

Any other software?
Mac OS : Catalina

Steps to reproduce

  1. ssh into MacOS configured with "oh my posh" unicode prompt.
  2. Unicode characters render as junk

Please note that in the same terminal I can see unicode correctly in my local prompts. I have Nerd Fonts installed and everything oh-my-posh-wise works fine locally.

I am using ssh from the latest Git For Windows (2.30)

Expected behavior

Prompt should render correctly

Actual behavior

Unicode characters are not renedered instead I see squares.

Is there something I should be doing to make this work ?

thanks
