Environment

Windows build number: 10.0.18362.0
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 0.5.2681.0

Steps to reproduce

I imagine this is similar to #633, except it seems like my arrows are rendering too far to the left (and/or too small), rather than having a gap. See:

I'm using a Menlo for Powerline patched font - with a powershell prompt generated by this. For comparison, here's the same prompt in vscode's integrated terminal:

With visible colors:

Expected behavior

Arrows in the powerline font rendered in full size, aligned with the center of the line.

Actual behavior

Powerline arrows are rendered at an incorrect size/location - the branch name text is also similarly reduced, it seems.

There's a duplicate for this, I just can't find it at the moment. Assigning myself so as I might find it.

I thought #900 was close, but I didn't think powerline arrows count as emoji - moreover, noone else in that thread seems to have the issue.
