Vscode: Unicode symbols inside integrated terminal

[zaharcelac]

Integrated terminal fails to display \u2387 symbol if used as part of command prompt (PS1)
In 1.16 it was working.

• VSCode Version: 1.17.0
• OS Version: Xubuntu 16.04.3

Steps to Reproduce:

1. modify your PS1 to display \u2387 symbol
2. open integrated terminal to see that only first part of this symbol is displayed, the second part is just a black space
3. if I try prinft "\u2387" from integrated terminal - it works

Reproduces without extensions: Yes

Found the issue, the character is drawn but the background isn't:

Thanks for getting this figured out already... ran in to this with powerline for bash.

@Tyriar When would this be released?

Probably early next week, not 100% sure though.

Yayie!

I've patched my downloaded VS Code to have the newer xterm until then! Thanks _a lot_ for some awesome work on the terminal! ^>^
