Redirection produces a UCS-2 file

[davidr]

Redirecting the output of exiftool produces a UCS-2 LE BOM format file.
e.g.
exiftool -title file.jpg > file.txt

At least on my Windows 10, using Powershell console it does.

I want the file to be UTF8, but using
exiftool -title -charset UTF8 file.jpg > file.txt
still writes UCS-2

Any suggestions?
(first time poster so polite ones please  )

To answer my own question.
It is Powershell that produces the UCS-2
I tried with a good old fashioned Command Prompt, and it produces UTF8

Should have thought before posting!

Yes.  Don't try to redirect in PowerShell, it does some other really bad things to the output as well.
