The issue is related to utf-8 on Windows when running the command python manage.py startunicorn hello-world

Yikes, this is because of the 🦄 in the standard template which I guess isn't handled the same on Windows as it is on OSX. I'm going to remove it since it was just a little silly thing I threw in there.

No worries, I was actually gonna write the fix by adding encoding="utf-8", so that it becomes:

template_path.write_text(TEMPLATE_FILE, encoding="utf-8")

Just run into some other problems with poetry... gonna fix those and submit a pull request.

Adding the encoding would definitely work as well! I just ended up removing it and pushing 0.11.1 to PyPI.

Would love any fixes or PRs you want to throw my way!
