Hi - could you please provide the information requested below on the bug reporting template?

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
KDE Plasma Version: 
KDE Frameworks Version: 
Qt Version: 

Could you also please include what font you are using in Konsole?

Are you also able to test the same characters being displayed without color highlighting (ex. perhaps just through the less or cat commands), to possibly see if it's the characters themselves or the character + color combination?

Note for future investigation, this might possibly be related somehow to the cause of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=483292 ?
