Thanks for reporting this!

It seems that this is expected behaviour, since UTF-16 is the default output encoding in Powershell. You can have Powershell commands output a different encoding (e.g. UTF-8) via the $PSDefaultParameterValues preference variable.

Thanks response. I will change default output encoding.
