Importing version if Terminal-Icons 0.11.0 leads to an error

Import-Module -Name Terminal-Icons -Global -Force

Import-Clixml: '<', hexadecimal value 0x3C, is an invalid attribute character. Line 1072, position 35.
InvalidOperation: Index operation failed; the array index evaluated to null.

Downgrading to version 0.10.0 solved the issue

Probably similar issue there with 0.11:

❯ Import-Module Terminal-Icons
Import-Clixml: The '<' character, hexadecimal value 0x3C, cannot be included in a name. Line 244, position 23.
InvalidOperation: Index operation failed; the array index evaluated to null.
InvalidOperation: Index operation failed; the array index evaluated to null.
Import-Clixml: Value for dictionary entry is not specified. Line 775, position 42.

With version 0.10 another issue:

❯ Import-Module -Name Terminal-Icons -Global -Force
Import-Clixml: Name cannot begin with the ' ' character, hexadecimal value 0x20. Line 216, position 22.
InvalidOperation: Index operation failed; the array index evaluated to null.

I just came to see if this was a known issue. The version of those files that ships must be bad. Deleting the: <%AppData%\Roaming\powershell\Community\Terminal-Icons> that are initially installed regenerates the files, and it seems to work after that.
