Windows Terminal Preview Version: 1.13.10395.0

Windows Version: [Version 10.0.19043.1466]

User Action:
Connect to a bash prompt. Run od -c to see the exact characters that are received.
Type in Control '@' (Control Shift 2 on a US keyboard)

Expected Result:
The od -c invocation should look like this.

od -c
^@^@^@^@^@^@
0000000  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \n

That's the output that I receive when I do the test through putty.

Actual Result:
Nothing. The invocation of od -c is unaware that anything has been sent.

Comments:
I know this issue has some history so I can appreciate if its something that is not easily resolved.
