Lightning icon (⚡) adds extra space in prompt with some fonts

What happened?

With any NerdFont i get extraspace. Happens with FiraCode NF, FuraCode NF, JetBrainsMono NF and also official releases of Cascadia Code, JetBrains Mono, etc.

On most of the system fonts, official Fira Code or FiraCode Retina it all looks correct, but of course with them I miss all or most of powerline glyphs.

It looks like this character is designed to occupy 2 places, but NerdFonts and few others force it to 1, but prompt still reserves 2 places for it.

I'd like to use original JetBrains Mono in my terminal as all NF versions of all fonts ruin original glyphs instead of simply adding new ones ☹

@SharakPL that's a lovely Windows Terminal bug. See here for more information on how to resolve it.

Thanks. This fixed it for me:

"properties": {
    "root_icon": "⚡",
    "postfix": "\u2800"
}

[SharakPL]

Actually it works without postfix, but with official Cascadia Code PL and Cascadia Mono PL. I see it has italic variants now so I'll stick with this one :)
