Description

### Windows Terminal version

1.13.10984.0

### Windows build number

10.0.22000.0

### Other Software

_No response_

### Steps to reproduce

Paste this Unicode character into your terminal ♟(U+265F)
Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess_symbols_in_Unicode

### Expected Behavior

I expected it to match the current foreground color of the terminal similar to the other chess related Unicode symbols.

### Actual Behavior

The pawn is always purple. Here's a screenshot of my chess game output in the windows terminal:

I can change the foreground color for all the other pieces using ANSI color codes but the pawn is always purple.
