Windows Terminal version (or Windows build number)

1.9.1942.0

Other Software

tmux 2.6 or 3.0a (inside WSL 2)

Steps to reproduce

In Ubuntu command line:

tmux new-session -n 🕊️ 

Expected Behavior

As on native Ubuntu: tmux status bar has only one line; clicking a window's name in the status bar switches to it

Actual Behavior

tmux status bar wraps and spills onto a second line; clicking on a window's name in the status bar does nothing

Unfortunately, this is a big known problem. The windows console infrastructure, which we're built on top of (and built out of!), doesn't support surrogate pairs incredibly well. It does to some extent, but there are known issues. /dup #8000
