I'm fairly certain this is a PowerShell 5 bug - does this repro with PowerShell 7/?

Depending on the emoji, this will also reproduce in PowerShell 7 since it also has no Unicode support.
Instead, can you try this with cmd (Command Prompt)?

I just reported a similar issue #19562, which is one of top Visual Studio crashes, only reproes on Win 10.
