Non-latin (accented) characters support

[mininao]

The module doesnt seem to support accented characters (é è à â û î ô ù ï etc ...) and returns interrogation marks when an accented character is entered.

Is there any way to solve this ?

Problematic code :

var prompt = require('sync-prompt').prompt;
console.log( prompt( 'Enter some accents ' ) );

Result :

My configuration
Windows 7 64 bits
Compilation with Visual Studio 2010
node.js version 0.10.29

If I understand correctly, I think the issue here is that Windows uses a different character encoding. While Linux (and other *nix OS) use UTF-8, windows uses UTF-16.

I'll try to get it working. Ugh, I'll have to get my hands on a Windows OS.

Or... maybe you can issue a pull request. :)

I'll try to see what i can do but since i have no knowlege of C... my chances of suceeding will be limited ^^
I would be so happy to work on *nix but since my workplace is into the full-microsoft thing, i have no choice 👎

Anyway, thank you for your fast answer, your module is a lifesaver ;)

As I commented on #11, I might be converting a lot of the C++ code into JavaScript.

I'm hoping not only will it fix #11, but it will somehow manage to fix this issue.

@mininao I just want to test something. Could you run the following code, in Node.js, and see what it outputs?

console.log('Émil va à son école');

I have not access to a computer right now, but I'm sure it will output the accents correctly, like "Émile va à son école"
