Describe the bug

Transferring issue to this repo as VS Code doesn't handle execution of terminal commands, the SDK does this.
See another issue from another user microsoft/vscode#275721 (comment)

Type: Bug

The screenshot shows it. The model produced a cat command invocation to write a file. The content contains unicode characters. The outcome is scrambled. This is probably a model issue, but we should first verify.
