Describe the bug

Windows powershell Chinese character decoding error when use "y" command.

Minimal reproducer

start yazi via "y" alias, select a path that contains Chinese characters, then press "q" quit yazi.

Anything else?

Resolved via add -Encoding UTF8 arg to Powershell wrapper function's line 4.

$cwd = Get-Content -Path $tmp  -Encoding UTF8 

Maybe docs should be modified to add this arg ?

Validations

• I tried the latest nightly build, and the issue is still reproducible
• I updated the debug information (yazi --debug) input box to the nightly that I tried
• I can reproduce it after disabling all custom configs/plugins (mv ~/.config/yazi ~/.config/yazi-backup)

I have no idea of how those PowerShell things work, so as usual, I'd like somebody else to confirm this is OK

Pinging @luiz00martins, sorry to bother you, but can you please confirm if -Encoding UTF8 is OK, since you're the original author of the PowerShell wrapper ;)

Can you reproduce it in PowerShell 7+?

Can you reproduce it in PowerShell 7+?

I installed PowerShell 7 , it does not have this issue, error only occurs in the pre-installed PowerShell 5.

Moved to yazi-rs/yazi-rs.github.io#170 as it's an error with the doc not Yazi itself

Closing in favor of that issue
