The strings use Unicode, but they have to be encoded somehow to be
outputted. The default encoding is ASCII, which doesn't support all of
those fancy Unicode characters. Figure out what encoding your terminal
is expecting (probably utf-8) and encode all strings in that when
they're outputted or set a default encoding.
