Writing emojis to Discord backend converts to ascii

[Szeraax]

My case

I've created an example function that takes a reaction name and sends it back as text to the channel.

Desired Behavior

Emoji's output to utf-8 charset:

Current Behavior

Any emojis in output get converted to ascii

Possible Solution

Replace:

PoshBot/PoshBot/Implementations/Discord/DiscordBackend.ps1

Line 794 in ee1f890

if (-not $Params['ContentType']) {$Params['ContentType'] = 'application/json'}

with:
$Params['ContentType'] = 'application/json;charset=utf-8'

This seems similar to the Teams backend solution:

PoshBot/PoshBot/Implementations/Teams/TeamsBackend.ps1

Line 247 in ee1f890

ContentType = 'application/json;charset=utf-8'

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

Write-Output "Emoji: ❗"

Context

I am trying to have non-ascii characters get preserved when they get posted to Discord
