Windows Terminal version

1.11.3471.0

Windows build number

10.0.19043.0

Other Software

Installed Posh-Git and Oh-My-Posh from the powershell gallery

Steps to reproduce

  1. Install Posh-Git PowerShellGet\Install-Module posh-git -Scope CurrentUser
  2. Install Oh-My posh PowerShellGet\Install-Module oh-my-posh -Scope CurrentUser
  3. Import the git-posh module
  4. Download an oh-my-posh theme and set it in the environment set-poshprompt -Theme "C:\Users\jadelaga\Downloads\agnoster.omp.json"
  5. Navigate to a git repo

Expected Behavior

Git posh symbols are loaded correctly and I can see the special characters in the terminal

Actual Behavior

A lot of special characters end up as boxes with question marks

This might be a deeper issue with powershell as the screenshot shows VS and Powershell having the same issue.

Looks like one needs to install the Caskadya Cove NF fonts to support these special characters.
