Out-file -append (or ">>") can mix two encodings, like unicode and utf8, in the same file. Add-content doesn't seem to suffer from this. Note that out-file in PS 5.1 uniquely defaults to unicode
(undocumented). But the problem itself is in both out-file for PS 5.1 & PS 6.
Steps to reproduce
(or write-output hi >> hi.txt for line 2)
Expected behavior
Actual behavior
line one is unicode, line 2 is utf8
