NOTE: Monospaced font works best in the terminal, if you use a different font some of the icons get condensed together

NOTE 2: JanDeDobbeleer/oh-my-posh#4494 (comment), had to include "patch_pwsh_bleed" to work around a powershell bug

NOTE 3: [Console]::OutputEncoding = [Text.Encoding]::UTF8 is now required for Powershell 7.4.0: JanDeDobbeleer/oh-my-posh#4499
