Adding certain unicode (UTF-8) characters (eg. the 'two hearts' character https://www.utf8icons.com/character/128149/two-hearts) shifts the whole text line downwards, making eg. underscore characters cut out at the default line height multiplier.

From Kate's settings the default font is Courier New 9 and line height multiplier is 1.0. Increasing line height multiplier helps to the cutting out characters.
I'm using Kate 23.04.0 from Microsoft Store on Windows 10.

Not sure if this is easily fixable or if the workaround is to just increase the line height..

Yes, just increase the line height. We can't fix this.

A suggestion: Don't use courier new, it's 2023 already.
