NodeJS - Saving TXT file with ANSI encoding

I created in my Linux PC a simple app that generates TXT files using fs NodeJS command. But I need read those files with an external Window app. So I need those files in ANSI encode. I installed Wine and for now, I open the file with notepad and save it again to convert the codification. There is any way to generate the TXT files with ANSI encoding from NodeJS directly?

I solved my question like this:

let txtContent = '' // string with content to save as file

const buffer = Buffer.from(txtContent, 'latin1')
fs.writeFile('files/file_name.txt')
