@rkeithhill, it's xterm-256color. Apologies for the wait.

[rkeithhill]

Thanks. Just wanted to make sure it wasn't set to an unexpected value which has caused issues with echoing.

@rkeithhill, this problem is probably caused by PowerShell, because using file://localhost//data/data/com.termux.nix/files/home/.nix-profile/bin/pwsh ¹ via f-droid.org/repo/com.termux_118.apk ² causes the same problem.
