Summary of the new feature/enhancement

When the Terminal came out, there was a mention of Unicode support, but I can see that it's still not there. There is no support for Georgian script yet.

I apologize for not providing this detail previously, but I have just checked all three modes available on my laptop - PowerShell, CMD and Ubuntu WSL1 - it's not available in any of them.

It's alright. We know that we're not done in this space and when we sat in triage, we couldn't believe we didn't file the issue yet. Congrats, yours is now the master tracking that we still have work to do to live up to our Unicode promise.

@DHowett whoops, I didn't fully flesh out that info, I should have made it a sub-issue, sorry for the bump notify, it wasn't my intent :)

Similar to #190, this issue can now also be closed. #16916 added support for ZWJ and thus this work is now complete. There are some smaller issues left to clean up, but I expect them to be a rare encounter. As such I'll close this issue for now.

This will ship in Windows Terminal 1.22 this year. If you want to try it out right now, please feel free to download our Canary (nightly) build here: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/discussions/16121

Please note that PowerShell does not have support for complex Unicode yet, but that's expected to change in the foreseeable future (no exact date yet).

Please file a new issue in this case. If you can, please attach a screenshot of the issue and steps to reproduce it.

Note that misaligned text in PowerShell is a PowerShell issue: it doesn't support modern Unicode very well.
