Description

### Steps to reproduce

Export chat logs as plain text

### Outcome

The text file you get is ANSI. It **_should_** be UTF-8 (or higher).

Because it's not, all the emoji's are mangled as things like: `😅` - I imagine it's even worse for non-English users.

### Operating system

Windows 10

### Application version

1.11.80

### How did you install the app?

_No response_

### Homeserver

_No response_

### Will you send logs?

No
