[Windows] Strings including unicode characters greater than 1 byte in length require `user.paste`

[dannymcgee]

Invoking a Talon script where the right hand side is a simple string including unicode characters which span more than one byte throws a TypeError: must be a unicode string of length 1. Wrapping the string with a call to user.paste works around the issue.

Repro

1. Create a new Talon script in the user folder with the following content:
   emoji eyes: "👀"
2. Open the Talon log
3. Invoke the emoji eyes command
4. Observe the error in the log
