Should be MinTTY

Could you add more detail?

I just tried in the internal terminal of VS Code (which is definitely not MinTTY), and I indeed see � printed there. Switching to another terminal tab and then switching back, however, I see �😂. If this is the bug you want to report, I think that it is not a bug in Git for Windows, but rather in VS Code. This SO post suggests so, and I guess a good starting point would be microsoft/vscode#68207.

If you indeed wanted to report a VS Code bug, please close this Git for Windows ticket.
