Ended up using $PSDefaultParameterValues['*:Encoding'] = 'utf8' to set utf-8 to "to change the default encoding for all cmdlets that have the Encoding parameter". Also put it in the $profile file for persistence.
You can also add [Console]::OutputEncoding = [Text.UTF8Encoding]::UTF8 to the start of your powershell profile script.
Notepad $profile
If the file doesn't exist, create one
add [Console]::OutputEncoding = [Text.UTF8Encoding]::UTF8 as the first line of the file`
save
restart powershell
