Under macOS Catalina 10.15.1, Using the standard "tree" command (as supplied by MacPorts), if at the Terminal prompt I `cd` to a folder and then execute `tree` there, I get output like this: . ├── Activity\ Monitor.app ├── ApplicationsFolderIcon.icns ├── BBEdit.app ├── Backup │ ├── Backup\ and\ Sync\ from\ Google.app │ ├── Carbon\ Copy\ Cloner.app │ ├── Dropbox.app\ │ ├── ForeverSave\ 2.app │ ├── Get\ Backup\ Pro\ 3.app However, if I redirect the output to a text file, as in tree > myapps.txt then I get wrong characters when I view the file in TextEdit: . ‚îú‚îÄ‚îÄ Activity\ Monitor.app ‚îú‚îÄ‚îÄ ApplicationsFolderIcon.icns ‚îú‚îÄ‚îÄ BBEdit.app ‚îú‚îÄ‚îÄ Backup ‚îǬ†¬† ‚îú‚îÄ‚îÄ Backup\ and\ Sync\ from\ Google.app ‚îǬ†¬† ‚îú‚îÄ‚îÄ Carbon\ Copy\ Cloner.app ‚îǬ†¬† ‚îú‚îÄ‚îÄ Dropbox.app\ ‚îǬ†¬† ‚îú‚îÄ‚îÄ ForeverSave\ 2.app ‚îǬ†¬† ‚îú‚îÄ‚îÄ Get\ Backup\ Pro\ 3.app What's wrong?
