Description
### Describe the bug
`copilot-cli` displays Slovak/Czech UTF-8 characters correctly in the terminal, but after copying the output and pasting it back into the prompt or into Windows applications, the text becomes mojibake.

### Affected version

### Steps to reproduce the behavior
Open copilot CLI in WSL / Ubuntu on Windows.
Receive a response containing Slovak/Czech UTF-8 characters.
Verify that the text is displayed correctly in the terminal.
Copy part of the Copilot CLI output from the terminal.
Paste it:
back into the Copilot CLI prompt, or
into a Windows application such as Notepad, Teams, Outlook, VS Code, browser, etc.
Observe that the pasted text contains mojibake instead of valid UTF-8 characters.
### Expected behavior
