This is a small annoyance: the underscore character `_` does not appear in the terminal window of VSCode:

the expected output is:

```julia
julia> Char('_')
'_': ASCII/Unicode U+005F (category Pc: Punctuation, connector)

julia>

```

Everything works as if it was there, but it is invisible. Any idea what might be wrong there?

It is a known issue: [[bug] invisible underscore in integrated-terminal · Issue #38133 · microsoft/vscode · GitHub](https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/38133)

The problem is a combination of zoom level and font size. Changing the font size of the terminal to 13 (it was 14) solved the issue here.
