There's a microsoft.public.windows.powershell group that would be more
helpful with PowerShell questions.

The out-file cmdlet has an encoding parameter:

PS>help out-file -full
....
-Encoding <string>
Specifies the type of character encoding used in the file. Valid
values are "Unicode", "UTF7", "UTF8", "UTF32",
"ASCII", "BigEndianUnicode", "Default", and "OEM". "Unicode" is
the default.

"Unicode" is the default.

"Default" uses the encoding of the system's current ANSI code page.
