Bug Report

Description: Thai vowel character \"า\" (Sara Aa - U+0E32) is not visible in Claude Code CLI output, even though the terminal supports Thai characters correctly.

Environment:

  • Terminal: iTerm2 + Warp
  • OS: macOS (Darwin 24.6.0)
  • The character renders correctly outside Claude Code, only breaks within Claude Code output

Impact:

  • Thai text appears with missing vowels in conversational output
  • Example: \"สวัสดีครับ\" may display as \"สวสดครับ\" (missing า)
  • File contents are unaffected - this is purely an output rendering issue

Expected: Thai characters should render the same as they do outside Claude Code

Actual: \"า\" character is invisible in Claude Code output (but present in the actual data)

Notes:

  • This appears to be related to markdown processing or escape sequences in Claude Code's output rendering
  • Files read/written by Claude Code contain correct Thai text
  • Only the conversational CLI display is affected
