You could run the Hebcal CLI (command-line interface) as part of your powershell script and capture the output into an environment variable.

The Hebcal CLI is written in Go, so it's cross-platform and should compile/run just fine on Windows.

Here's what it looks like on Linux/macOS -- should be the same on Windows

$ hebcal -T -h -x | head -1
28th of Iyyar, 5783
$ hebcal -T -h -x --lang=he | head -1
כ״ח אִיָיר תשפ״ג
$

Hi, thanks for using Hebcal.

From reading an article that Microsoft posted, I believe it's possible to use Unicode characters in a folder name
