Is there an existing issue for this?

Steps to reproduce

I have searched that there were similar issues but they are closed without any fix. I suppose that error in Flutter debug console in Android Studio or something related with this. I suppose so because there's no any issues with rendering such special characters but only if there appears in console (you can see this in attached video)

Second, I think the problem is wrong conversion from special char (in my case �) to bytes ([239, 191, 189, 10] but it must be [239, 191, 189]).

There's no any problems in release mode or if I go to localhost from other browser instance which is not connected to Flutter debugger. But using other instance of browser is not a solution because it makes development very difficult in such circumstances))

To reproduce just start my example code

Expected results

Flutter debugger shows � in console

Actual results

App crashes

Code sample

Code sample 
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

void main() {
  runApp(const MyApp());
}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  const MyApp({super.key});
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {

    const String crashString = "�";

    return MaterialApp(
      title: 'App crasher',
      home: Center(
        child: TextButton(onPressed: () => print(crashString), child: const Text("Crash app")),
      ),
    );
  }
}
