Can a powershell script output a (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ to the console?

Can I output unicode, like the classic deskflip (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ to the console?

Do I have to set this 'mode' in the cli when i run the script, or could I do some magic in the script itself so the consumers of my script don't need to remember to do anything funky in the CLI?

this is my screenshot ....

This is a limitation of the console rather than a limitation of Powershell. If you use a different Powershell host (e.g. the Powershell ISE) then the output will appear as you expect:

PS C:\> write-host "(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻"
(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

If you try that in the console window you actually get the same characters output (as you can tell if you copy/paste into something that will display them).
