What Powershell version are you using?

PowerShell

What system are you using?

Windows

Steps to reproduce

Install psc, import it, open the menu

What is expected?

Proper rendering if all text / glyphs.

What is actually happening?

Text characters render normally. Emoji and other glyphs do not.

Any additional comments?

The Beta option in Regional Settings in the Control Panel is not checked. Emoji do render normally in the terminal, but not in the psc menu. I have tried this with my full Powershell profile (as seen in the image above), with an empty profile except for Import-Module PSCompletions, and with an empty profile except for

Import-Module PSCompletions
$OutputEncoding = [console]::InputEncoding = [console]::OutputEncoding = New-Object System.Text.UTF8Encoding

or

$OutputEncoding = [console]::InputEncoding = [console]::OutputEncoding = New-Object System.Text.UTF8Encoding
Import-Module PSCompletions

but all variations fail to render emoji properly.

• Are you using Windows Terminal Preview?
• There is a rendering problem in Windows Terminal Preview, but it works fine in Windows Terminal
• It probably a bug in Windows Terminal Preview.

$OutputEncoding = [console]::InputEncoding = [console]::OutputEncoding = New-Object System.Text.UTF8Encoding

• Actually, the output encoding problem only exists in Windows Terminal (Preview), other terminal tools like Tabby, Hyper don't have rendering issues.

Yup! I was using preview, and can confirm that the non-preview version works. Thank you!

• It's a bug in Windows Terminal Preview, I'll open an issue in the terminal repository and wait for a fix.
• Now, you can try to customize it to other available characters.
