Description
### Windows Terminal version
1.17.1023
### Details
1.16.10261 had significant problems with REP of Unicode block graphics and other such characters. That's mostly fixed in 1.17.1023, with one exception: REP of Supplementary Plane characters still produces incorrect results, with the characters repeated in the wrong places on the line or sometimes not at all.
I've experienced this with MouseText characters like U+0001FB81 in particular, and have not (of course!) tested every SP code point.

Research direction
Reproduce REP with the Supplementary Plane character U+0001FB81 in Windows Terminal 1.17.1023, comparing it with the reported incorrect placement or missing output. Done means REP places the character correctly and consistently on the line.
