Steps to Reproduce:

1. Try to load XML file with Cyrillic letters in file name
   $xml = [xml](Get-Content -Encoding UTF8 -Path "C:\MaxPatrol_Reports\Отчет Аудит - Серверы - Сектор ИБ 06.06.2017 11-30-00.xml")
2. Have an error

Get-Content : Cannot find path 'C:\MaxPatrol_Reports\Отчет Аудит - Серверы - Сектор �Б 06.06.2017 11-30-00.xml' because it does
not exist.
At C:\MaxPatrol_Reports\dataset.ps1:1 char:14
+ ... xml = [xml](Get-Content -Encoding UTF8 -Path "C:\MaxPatrol_Reports\Рћ ...
+                 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (C:\MaxPatrol_Re...17 11-30-00.xml:String) [Get-Content], ItemNotFoundException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : PathNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetContentCommand

3. If we run same code at Visual Studio Code x32 or native PowerShell it's work without errors

Can someone with this issue give this workaround a try that @mklement0 supplied:

$OutputEncoding = [console]::InputEncoding = [console]::OutputEncoding = New-Object System.Text.UTF8Encoding

[mklement0]

@tylerl0706: I think in this case the workaround is to ensure that the PS scripts are saved as UTF-8 with BOM:

Click on UTF-8 in the VS Code status bar, choose Save with Encoding, then select UTF-8 with BOM and re-execute the script - see #1392 (comment)

Closing this as resolved see encoding documentation:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/components/vscode/understanding-file-encoding?view=powershell-6

I tried different encodings for the document and still getting D:\MUSIC>ffmpeg -i "╨е╤А╨╕╤Б╤В╨╕╨╜╨░ ╨б╨╛╨╗╨╛╨▓╤Ц╨╣ - ╨в╤А╨╕╨╝╨░╨╣.m4a" "╨е╤А╨╕╤Б╤В╨╕╨╜╨░ ╨б╨╛╨╗╨╛╨▓╤Ц╨╣ - ╨в╤А╨╕╨╝╨░╨╣.mp3" -n
PowerShell is 💩

This solution definitely works! Thank you!
