Your file is encoded with UTF-16 LE ("little endian").

Screenshot with circle around encoding indicator in status bar

Node.js doesn't understand that encoding by default (it assumes UTF-8; actually, I don't even see an option for other encodings...) so it's choking on the first "character" of the file since that "character" doesn't look like valid JavaScript syntax. (In this case, the first two bytes are a byte-order mark [BOM]. UTF-16 almost always starts with a BOM indicating whether it's little-endian or big-endian.)

Click the "UTF-16 LE" in the lower right-hand part of vscode and choose "Save with Encoding" and save it as UTF-8 (not "UTF-8 with BOM," just "UTF-8").

Then Node.js will understand it.
