Two of the same commands give different result (output as utf8)

Question

I have a .bat file that contains two commands:

SQLCMD -S . -d "databaseName" -E -i "path_to_query1.sql" -y0 -s "|" -f o:65001 > outputPath1.json

SQLCMD -S . -d "databaseName" -E -i "path_to_query2.sql" -y0 -s "|" -f o:65001 > outputPath2.json

The argument -f o:65001 is to output it to utf8 format, but only the second line outputs the query in an utf8 format.

Why is this? Why does it seem that the argument "-f o:65001" only works for the second command?

I checked it by switching the order and then again only the second command outputs the query in utf8 format.

Thanks for any tips on this.

EDIT

The solution for my specific problem was to put "chcp 65001" before the SQLCMD's. You then also don't need the argument -f 0:65001
