Powershell write to file creates strange characters

Problem

Reason

The file was created by using the command  add-content without definition of encoding (default ANSI encoding). Later on lines where added by using command out-file (default Unicode encoding)

Solution

Do not mix the two line writer add-content and out-file without definining encoding.
