@otaconjh this is a first guess, I'll look into it later today, but I think you need to set the encoding to utf8 in Out-File.

-Encoding utf8

@otaconjh confirmed on my machine to be working with the proper encoding, although it's oem:

2. Write-PoshTheme | Out-File -FilePath ~/.go-my-posh.json -Encoding oem

Thank you

Encoding works, might be worth updating the doc on the website with it! https://ohmyposh.dev/docs/upgrading
