PowerShell: The preference variable $OutputEncoding

The value of the PowerShell preference variable $OutputEncoding controls in what encoding text is sent to third party applications. Its type must be a System.Text.Encoding object or an object that is derived from that class.
It is noteworthy to mention that the value of $outputEncoding has no influence on the redirection operators or on the Out-File cmdLet. It is, however, possible to override the default values for the -Encoding parameter with the $psDefaultParameterValues variable.
