Environment

Windows build number: Windows 10.0.18363.0
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 0.10.781.0

Steps to reproduce

Write almost any special character twice in a row, ie:

^^
!!
--
__
;;
::

Expected behavior

Source-specific formatting, default to normal text formatting. See conhost behavior:
bug_report_terminal_doublechar

Actual behavior

First characters foreground color turns black (in darkmode themes) making it impossible to see. See Terminal screenshot below for comparison:

This is in powershell and pwsh, WSL profile does something to it but it doesn't change foreground color at least.

Most noticable in powershell when referencing [dotnet]:: classes

@spoorcrystallogy What font are you using? Display scaling?

@zadjii-msft Yup you were right it was the font that messed it up, sorry for non-issue.
For reference it was FuraCode NF (Fura Code Regular Nerd Font Complete Mono Windows Compatible)
