Description

Lage prints some emojis that show up as invalid characters when run from "cmd". This works fine in Windows Terminal though, which can be tested for on Windows by env variable.

Research direction

Reproduce the emoji output from Lage in Windows cmd and compare it with Windows Terminal, using the referenced react-native-windows issue for context. Locate the console-output entry point and determine how the Windows Terminal environment variable can distinguish the two cases; done means cmd output contains no invalid emoji characters while Windows Terminal behavior remains unchanged.
