This is a stock Windows Terminal, no customizations.

I might be answering my own question here but gonna feedback here for anyone else who may find this useful: https://www.hanselman.com/blog/ItsTimeForYouToInstallWindowsTerminal.aspx

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!

Yup, that fixed it. Installing Cascadia Code Powerline fone and setting "fontFace": "Cascadia Code PL" under my "default" profile resolved the issue.
