I’m on 2004 build and still not fixed, PSReadLine version is still 2.0.0 I had to update it manually, and bug is gone Run this line in PowerShell from administrator: Install-Module PSReadLine -force

#822 fixes just the problem initially reported here.

The rendering of ? (and it’s just a rendering problem, the characters are correct if executed) was introduced by #771, the workaround for now is to run:

[Console]::OutputEncoding = [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8

There is one additional problem if you start PowerShell with the Cyrillic keyboard - PSReadLine will fail to load, and the only workaround right now is to start PowerShell with a different keyboard.
