When running Cygwin's Bash in the Windows Terminal (see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/terminal/ for details), Cygwin is receiving keyboard input in the form of UTF-16 characters. UTF-16 has that awkward challenge that it cannot map the full Unicode range, and to make up for it, there are the ranges U+D800-U+DBFF and U+DC00-U+DFFF which are illegal except when they come in a pair encoding for Unicode characters beyond U+FFFF. Cygwin does not handle such surrogate pairs correctly at the moment, as can be seen e.g. when running Cygwin's Bash in the Windows Terminal and then inserting an emoji (e.g. via Windows + <dot>, which opens an emoji picker on recent Windows versions): Instead of showing an emoji, this shows the infamous question mark in a black triangle, i.e. the invalid Unicode character. Let's special-case surrogate pairs in this scenario. This fixes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/3281 Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
