My vscode terminal directory turns into a very very long combination of alphabets as soon as I type something in it. Like "\xe1\x84\x82\xe1\x85\xb3...."

this is how it looks when terminal is opened. above is how it looks when terminal is opened. enter image description here above is how it turns into as soon as I type something in it. enter image description here

    Do not use special characters outside strings. Not as OS usernames, not as directory names, not as filenames. –  Apr 28 '22 at 08:59
  • @ChrisG Thank you Chris. So it is probably because the project folder name is in Korean..? – Intaek Apr 28 '22 at 09:11
  • Yep, I bet it is. –  Apr 28 '22 at 09:41
  • Your issue seems very similar to [this bug](https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/83496). I'd suggest reporting the problem (with a minimal repro) there. – Andrew Stegmaier Apr 28 '22 at 15:07
