VS Code freezes when printing unicode characters in Powershell

Testing #208456

For testing, I tried running this script in a powershell integrated terminal:

for ($i=0; $i -le 0xFFFF; $i++) {
    Write-Host -NoNewline ([char]$i)
}

This gets a few hundred characters in before the entire window stops responding

The same script works in an external powershell terminal

Tested with powershell 7.5 preview

Interestingly can also happen on MacOS using:

for i in {0..65535}; do
  printf "\\u$(printf "%04x" $i)"
done

This works fine for me on Windows with Windows PowerShell and pwsh 7 🤔

I can also reproduce the renderer hang on macOS
