What's Wrong?
Some characters are rendered with incorrect or corrupted glyphs in the Claude Code input/output display area. Affected characters include certain English letters (e.g., h, y) and Chinese characters (e.g., 你), which appear as wrong symbols or stylized variants instead of the correct glyphs.

What Should Happen?
All characters should render as their correct, standard glyphs without any visual distortion or substitution.
