I ran into the same issue. It's hacky, but I found that appending a zero-width joiner to the end of a problematic character seems to fix the formatting issue, i.e.,
✅\u200D.I also found that some terminals render these tables correctly. Either way, this hack seems to work on all the terminals I tried.
