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.
