In .NET MAUI, the CharacterSpacing property is not applied for Placeholder text in both the Entry and Editor controls on Windows. While the property works correctly for the Text content, it does not apply to the Placeholder.

Steps to Reproduce
- Create a .NET MAUI app EntryIssue.zip.

- Set CharacterSpacing to 5, and provide both Text and Placeholder.
- Run the app on Windows.
- Observe that on Windows, CharacterSpacing is applied only to Text, not Placeholder.
Expected Behavior

Actual Behavior
- The CharacterSpacing is applied only to the Text content.
- The Placeholder text ignores the CharacterSpacing setting and appears with default character spacing.
