What is Emacs doing to kill my flashing cursor?

Running GNU Emacs 29.3 on a terminal on Ubuntu 24.04.1, text mode only. For reasons unrelated to this question, I use the ssh command to connect to the Linux host from my Windows command prompt (currently my only option). When I initially ssh, my cursor is a flashing block. However, when I start Emacs, it turns to a solid block, and upon exiting it remains this way. I'm assuming Emacs is sending an ANSI escape sequence that is changing it, but I have no idea how to find out what it is. Looking at the terminfo man page, I couldn't find anything related to a solid or flashing cursor.
