Windows Terminal version

1.14.2281.0

Windows build number

10.0.19044.0

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

  1. Launch any command interpreter
  2. Type or display the following ascii sequence: "!=" (without quotes) anywhere in the terminal window
  3. Window Terminal performs a unwarranted translation to the "≠" character, and thus not a true reproduction of, for example a file's content.

In a nutshell: "!=" != "≠"!

Expected Behavior

For Windows Terminal not to translate any character sequences allowing users to view file contents in particular, faithfully.

Actual Behavior

"≠"
