Windows Terminal version

1.11.3471.0

Windows build number

10.0.22000.556

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

Add this to a Batch file and run it:

chcp 65001
echo <anything between U+E000-F8FF to U+10000 afterward>
pause

chcp 65001 is for UTF-8
This will either display as an unknown character, or if Windows's own font set supports it, it will display as default text
It doesn't matter if your font can display these characters, it will not display correctly.

Expected Behavior

The terminal should display the characters as the font displays them normally

Actual Behavior

Either displays the specified characters as unknown characters, or if Windows's own font set supports it, it will display as default text
Doesn't matter if the font supports the characters
