Environment

 Win32NT             10.0.19042.0 Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.19042.0

Powershell, Windows Terminal Version 1.5.10411.0

Steps to reproduce

Use win + . to access the emoji menu and click on an emoji, which will insert that emoji into the command line. Alternatively, the emoji can also be pasted from the clipboard.

Expected behavior

Windows Terminal has emoji support, which means that it should display those emojis across the whole interface, when printing output and when typing in the input.

Actual behavior

When typing in the input, emojis don't appear correctly, they just appear as question marks. Thanks 🤗

What application is running inside Terminal? What version of Terminal? I can't tell because you removed the "Terminal version" and "any other software" section of the template 😄

This is probably https://github.com/PowerShell/PSReadLine/issues/1329

This is probably PowerShell/PSReadLine#1329

It does seem quite similar, although not even the emoji was working in my original configuration.
I have tried Remove-Module PSReadline, which results in that emoji working. Very strange.
(I have included a screenshot in the original post)

Thanks for all the info! Emoji input straight up just doesn't work quite right in the console, and by extension, the Terminal. That's generally what we're tracking in #190 at this point.

/dup #190
