Reported by Henrik Hârkônen on gitter:
Hello all! I just noticed one "thing" when using Alire on Windows 10 for the first time. I created a new project with alr init --lib command and then it asked me stuff, like my name. And because my name is unfortunate to not contain only the ascii-7bit characters, reading the alire.toml when starting alr edit for example, fails to a "invalid UTF-8 encoding at" error. I was using the windows cmd -shell.
I edited with VSCode the ä and ö characters to proper ones and then it worked, but I was wondering what caused this. Is the cmd shell reading the input as cp1252 and that get's written to the toml, or how does this go?
