I bet conhost moves it's cursor in response to characters being typed in the IME, but remembers the right place to insert them into the buffer. Looks to me like the Terminal only moves the cursor once the characters are submitted. I bet we could get the Terminal to do this as well, with some sort of callback from TSFInputControl to TermControl

I think I'm having this issue with my posh-gitmoji powershell module. When using it you'd end up with something like this, ready to put as string inside the single quotes:

gitmoji ⚡️ <# Improving performance. #> ''

If the cursor is moved furthest to the right it seems to be placed between the single qoutes ('|') but when I write it is outputted on the expected position (''|m).
If I move to inside the single quotes it looks like it's on the left side |'' + m => '|m'.

It doesn't happen will all emojis.
