Encoding problem

[viktorvi]

Hi,

I hava a js file which contains the following line:

var char = '×××××××'

After I use optimize-js then I received the following result:

var char = '´┐Ż´┐Ż´┐Ż´┐Ż´┐Ż´┐Ż´┐Ż'

I am using the following powershell script:

$PSDefaultParameterValues = @{ '*:Encoding' = 'utf8' } 
 <#npm install -g optimize-js #>
optimize-js 'c:\!Publish\js\test.js' > 'c:\!Publish\js\test2.js'

Hm weird, I can reproduce in BashOnWindows but not on macOS.

As an alternative, you can use the JS API instead of the CLI, since that gives you full control over the string and therefore you control the encoding. Sorry for the bug!
