Convert weird chars into their proper version #1089

Summary of the new feature

I saw this reddit thread https://www.reddit.com/r/PowerShell/comments/9rlj00/why_does_visualstudio_code_keep_borking_my_scripts/ and it reminded me having those problems as well. Basically when you copy/paste code from different websites it looks good but chars like - or ' or " often have weird version of it and it looks like gibberish after you run it.

On website:

Set-ADUser $user –replace @{EmployeeType=”$newemployeetype”} -WhatIf

When pasted it looks almost the same...

But when run I often see complains and output displays this:

Set-ADUser $user –replace @{EmployeeType=�$newemployeetype�} -WhatIf

It's also visible when you do something in Word (I know I know), Outlook or other software like that.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

I had this conversation with @tylerl0706 on twitter: https://twitter.com/TylerLeonhardt/status/1055859999086235648 and one of proposed implementations was to utilize format on paste, format on save, format on... where it would magically replace those weird chars into their equivalent versions.
