UTF-8 output from PowerShell

by

Not an expert on encoding, but after reading these…

… it seems fairly clear that the $OutputEncoding variable only affects data piped to native applications.

If sending to a file from withing PowerShell, the encoding can be controlled by the -encoding parameter on the out-file cmdlet e.g.

write-output "hello" | out-file "enctest.txt" -encoding utf8

Nothing else you can do on the PowerShell front then, but the following post may well help you:.
