Steps to reproduce

I use Oh My Posh segment which using character \uf199f (Timer Sand Complete or nf-md-timer_sand_complete from https://www.nerdfonts.com/cheat-sheet) This character did not display correctly until I just open settings and press Save...
After the terminal is restarted, the error reappears.

Terminal using Delugia font as default and for Powershell Core

See screenshots: upper part before Save settings, lower part - after.

Did you recently update your font? This could be a corruption in the font cache service. You could try restarting the service in PowerShell, as an Administrator, using this command:

Restart-Service FontCache

Did you install this font for your current user only or for all users (%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Fonts vs. C:\Windows\Fonts)? Or does the font potentially exist in both directories in different versions? Using the latter exclusively might be more robust.

You could try restarting the service in PowerShell, as an Administrator, using this command: ```pwsh Restart-Service FontCache ``` Did you install this font for your current user only or for all users (`%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Fonts` vs. `C:\Windows\Fonts`)? Or does the font potentially exist in both directories in different versions? Using the latter exclusively might be more robust.

Yes, after install the font for all users, the problem disappeared.
