Double encoding in Powershell

[korpa]

Describe the bug While this works fine in Linux:

Powershell doesn't like it when we forward the result of gum format to gum style

To Reproduce In Powershell:

• First run echo "* List" | gum format. Markdown is rendered correctly.
• Then run gum style --foreground "#FFF" --border-foreground "2" --border double --align left --width 100 --margin "1 2" --padding "1 1" "$(echo "* List" | gum format )". The dot of the list transforms to wired chars.

Expected behavior Powershell behaves like Bash

piping gum format to gum style works fine

echo "* List" | gum format | gum style --foreground "#FFF" --border-foreground "2" --border double --align left --width 100 --margin "1 2" --padding "1 1"

For me it doesn't:

What Powershell are you using?

Did you override the default encodings?

@korpa you're using the old an dated "Powershell" (blue logo) and not the more modern and maintained "Powershell Core" (black logo)

You can install the newer powershell using winget by doing winget install Microsoft.PowerShell

Hej @kirides,

I installed the latest Powershell as suggested by you, but still have the same issue:

I tested a couple of scenarios:

• Terminals: Windows Terminal, Alacritty
• Fonts: JetBrainsMono Nerdfont, Cascadia Mono

In all scenarios the same issue.
