Console output to support Unicode

[stephen147]

Is it possible to change a setting that will output to the console when building such characters?

Write-Host "Mac'IllÌosa, what 👨‍👩‍👦 is this?' 👨‍👩‍👦 😹🤗"

In the console I get this:

Mac'Ill�Oosa, what �Y'��??�Y'��??�Y'� is this?' �Y'��??�Y'��??�Y'� �Y~��Y�-

I am having the same type of problems made another issue about it #170

One simple solution is to enable UTF-8 in Windows.

Open intl.cpl and click the UTF-8 button under Change system locale...

Alternatively advice running scripts to output utf-8 by calling chcp 65001
