File font garbled;

Question

Hi I am using run space to run some process against multiple machines and logging info into temp files, and the end of the script am concenating all the temp files into a final log files. But I notice when the script runs the temp files have neatly formatted
info but after concenating into final log file the text is garbled? Is it the encoding? any way to overcome this. Also noticed the new line is not preserved and the tabs/spaces etc in the final file.

I am using this function to write to tempfile. 
Function Global:WriteLogInfo
Param (
    [string] $Msg,
[string] $Log,
[switch] $NoConsole = $false,
[switch] $NoTimestamp = $false,
[switch] $Help
  if (!$Msg) {
    return @{"ExitCode" = $false; "ExitMsg" = "-Msg parameter is mandatory."}
  if ($NoTimestamp -eq $true) {
    $OutString = "$Msg"
  } else {
    $OutString = (get-date).ToString() + " - " + $Msg
    if (!$Log) {
      Write-Host $OutString
    } else {
      if ($NoConsole -eq $false) {
        Write-Host $OutString
      $OutString | Out-File -append $Log -encoding "UTF8"
Thanks

Hi,
We need the code of combine the temp files to a final file.
