Summary of the new feature/enhancement

When SSHing into an ubuntu server with oh-my-bash installed, set up with the powerline theme, some of the symbols and shapes do not render properly, while they render fine if using the regular cmd.exe

Just switch your font to one that has powerline characters. They shipped with Consolas or something by default -- try using FiraCode, or one of the NerdFonts
