title: Why is node-emoji rendering unexpected � characters in console?
body: <p>A week ago, 11 Aug 2019, I was able to render the characters in Visual Studio Code cmd console correctly without the �, but now 18 Aug 2019, the � is showing along side the emoji. How can I fix it?</p>
  
  <pre><code>// app.ts file
  import * as emoji from 'node-emoji';
  
  console.log(emoji.get('crossed_fingers'));
  console.log(emoji.get('baby_bottle'));
  console.log(emoji.get('beer'));
  console.log(emoji.get('champagne'));
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Console output</p>
  
  <pre><code>�
  �
  �
  �
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I tried Visual Studio Code 1.37.1 and also 1.36.1, on Windows 10, both give me same results. I didn't take note what version I was using last week. I also think it could be recent Windows Update causing the problem since there was no system change other then <a href="https://www.windowscentral.com/whats-new-input-windows-10-may-2019-update" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Windows Update version 1903</a> and Visual Studio Code Update, both happened automatically and on different laptops (home and work).</p>
