On our end, nothing changed in that area and I'm unable to reproduce this myself. What we do know is that changing the encoding overall to UTF8 solves the issue, which is why we're thinking in that direction. It's also only for icons in a specific range apparently.\r\n\r\nDoesn't work:\r\n\r\n```powershell\r\noh-my-posh init pwsh --config ~/custom.omp.json | Invoke-Expression\r\n```\r\n\r\nWorks:\r\n\r\n```powershell\r\n[Console]::OutputEncoding = [Text.Encoding]::UTF8\r\noh-my-posh init pwsh --config ~/custom.omp.json | Invoke-Expression\r\n```\r\n\r\n### Expected behavior\r\n\r\n```console\r\nIt displays the prompt without issues\r\n```\r\n\r\n\r\n### Actual behavior\r\n\r\n```console\r\nYou can see garbled text\r\n```\r\n\r\n\r\n### Error details\r\n\r\n```console\r\nNot applicable\r\n```\r\n\r\n\r\n### Environment data\r\n\r\n```powershell\r\n$PSVersionTable\r\nName\r\nValue\r\nPSVersion\r\n7.4.0\r\nPSEdition\r\nCore\r\nGitCommitId\r\n7.4.0\r\nOS\r\nMicrosoft Windows 10.0.22000\r\nPlatform\r\nWin32NT\r\nPSCompatibleVersions\r\n4.0....)\r\n{1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0....®\r\nPSRemotingProtocolVersion\r\n2.3\r\nSerializationVersion\r\n1.1.0.1\r\nWSManStackVersion\r\n3.0\r\n```\r\n\r\n\r\n### Visuals\r\n\r\nLinked issues:\r\n\r\n- https://discord.com/channels/1023597603331526656/1176109431382081546\r\n- https://github.com/JanDeDobbeleer/oh-my-posh/issues/4475 (pwsh 5, but same issue so could also be related to PSReadline perhaps?)\r\n- https://github.com/JanDeDobbeleer/oh-my-posh/issues/4468\r\n- https://github.com/JanDeDobbeleer/oh-my-posh/issues/4499\r\n- https://github.com/JanDeDobbeleer/oh-my-posh/issues/5665\r\n- https://github.com/JanDeDobbeleer/oh-my-posh/issues/5662","author":{"url":"https://github.com/JanDeDobbeleer","@type":"Person","name":"JanDeDobbeleer"},"datePublished":"2023-11-20T18:24:56.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":36},"url":"https://github.com/20733/PowerShell/issues/20733"}
