Hello there, today I finally wanted to try new windows terminal, for a project that has emojis in it and I found this terminal very suitable for this, but I'm kinda having some problems with it, Emojis aren't shown as it should, many of them are shown as question marks, some work
but here's the interesting part, if current window gets updated (like resizing it), everything suddenly works and those question marks turn into emojis
here's a GIF to show what I'm currently experiencing:

Environment
