I'm using Windows Terminal (Preview) with oh-my-posh. But when I start my terminal up, the screen is broken as hell. enter image description here

Any suggestions?

I'm not an Oh My Posh user myself, but it sounds like you are running into this problem mentioned in the Oh My Posh FAQ.

It sounds like it's due to an issue (or missing feature) in Windows Terminal. The way I'm reading it, I may have run into it with some glyphs in WSL2 with the Fish shell.

If that is what you are seeing, the Oh My Posh FAQ recommends a workaround of adding an invisible spacing character at the end of each segment. For example:

{
    "type": "executiontime",
    /* other attributes here */
    "properties": {
    "always_enabled": true,
    "prefix": "\ufbab",
    "postfix": "\u2800" // invisible spacing character
    }
}

I believe you'll need to do this for each element of your prompt.
