I have a small PowerShell script that uses ssh to connect to a server and run a command. I believe it produces unreadable output due to some of the text having to be in colour.

I've tried adding the following, but still no luck:

$OutputEncoding = [console]::InputEncoding = [console]::OutputEncoding = New-Object System.Text.UTF8Encoding

To define console encoding you can use following expressions.

Choose encoding you need.

$ConsoleEncoding =  [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8

Apply your encoding to console.

[Console]::OutputEncoding = [System.Text.Encoding]::GetEncoding( "$( $ConsoleEncoding.BodyName )" )

Solved it, turns out that the command I needed was ssh -t host command to enable the colour display
