What's Wrong?

After running the agent for a while in Google Antigravity on Mac OS (apple silicon), the characters get messed up and change color or get swapped out with characters from another alphabet:

<img width="697" height="1009" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/5da292bb-55cd-4d2a-bbf9-3ac4aa29a8b8" />

What Should Happen?

Claude shouldn't randomly replace characters with characters from another font library.

Error Messages/Logs

None that I can find.

Steps to Reproduce

Run claude CLI in Google Antigravity for a couple of days. open multiple integrated terminals, each with a Claude Code CLI instance running.

You'll start to see the font change.

Additional Information

This also happened in Google Antigravity a few months ago, but appeared to have been resolved. now it's back. Seems to be tied to the number of instances of claude that are running combined with the number of days the IDE has been open with multiple agents running.
