Powershell '>' operator, change encoding?

Question

Is there a way to change the default encoding of the > operator in powershell? I'd like it to output as ANSI as UTF-8 for my requirements.txt:

pip freeze > requirements.txt

pip freeze | Out-File -Encoding UTF8 requirements.txt

or you can try

pip freeze > iconv -f UTF-8 -t ISO-8859-1 in.txt > out.txt

you can read about iconv

@jeff try ISO-8859-1 for that

ut-File : Cannot validate argument on parameter 'Encoding'. The argument "ISO-8859-1" does not belong to the set unknown,string,unicode,bigendianunicode,utf8,utf7,utf32,ascii,default,oem" specified by the ValidateSet attribute.
