Check the code page in that session: [System.Text.Encoding]::Default

If it's 20866 (koi8-r) or 20880 (IBM880), try changing it to 65001 (utf-8). Make sure you're using a TrueType font, too.

Hello there,

Try using UTF32 instead of Unicode and see if that helps. "`u{}" is a way to escape a Unicode character to be interpreted by Powershell. This is built into Powershell itself.

Emojis look like images or icons, but they are not. They are letters (characters) from the UTF-8 (Unicode) character set. UTF-8 covers almost all of the characters and symbols in the world.
