I hate it to break it down to you, the guide you're using isn't the official one from Microsoft, so this issue doesn't fit right in with what you claim for.
Take a look at https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/blob/master/doc/user-docs/UsingJsonSettings.md

To closely understand the way settings in Windows terminal work for right now.

I mean, anything from @shanselman is basically an official guide 😝

@VjekoslavKrainovic could you share your settings.json file? I'd bet that you need to use a Powerline font, because the default font doesn't have the little arrow glyphs that make powerline prompts so pretty.

Step Three - Get a better font

If you do all this and you see squares and goofy symbols, it's likely that the font you're using doesn't have the advanced Powerline glyphs. Those glyphs are the ones that make this prompt look so cool!
Weird fonts

Cascadia Code has been updated with a PL (Powerline) Glyph version! Go get it at https://github.com/microsoft/cascadia-code/releases and change the fontFace in your settings.json to "Cascadia Code PL"

"fontFace": "Cascadia Code PL"

Remember also you can get lots of Nerd Fonts at https://www.nerdfonts.com/, just make sure you get one (or generate one!) that includes PowerLine Glyphs.
