bubbletea does not render special characters properly

[louisescher]

Describe the bug
When using, for example, German "Umlaute" (ä, ü, ö), bubbletea does not render the characters at all. Another German-specific character, ß, renders as á instead. This does not seem to be a problem with the font, as I can use the letters when writing out commands.

Setup
Please complete the following information along with version numbers, if applicable.

• OS: Windows
• Shell: Windows Terminal/cmd

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a bubbletea application with a textinput
2. Try to type any of the letters into the textinput
3. See the characters not being typed/rendered

Source Code
The textinput code example can be used to replicate this behaviour.

Expected behavior
The special characters should render, however, they do not.

Screenshots
Here is an example of what happens when typing in the ß character:

To confirm, here you can see how my terminal renders the characters with the same font & settings:

Okay cool, this seems to be an issue on Windows in particular (and possibly a regression).

There’s a duplicate issue at charmbracelet/bubbles#460, however I think this repo is the appropriate place for this.

Alright, so I'm able to reproduce this on Windows and it's indeed it's specific to Bubble Tea. We'll investigate accordingly. International support is important to us.

Okey-dokey, this is now fixed on master via #878 and will be available in the next release. Cheers!

Amazing, thanks for all the hard work. Should I close this now or wait for the release to come out?

All the credit here belongs to @aymanbagabas and @erikgeiser 🙂

If you don't mind let's close this out.

Much love to you two then! Thanks again, marking this as closed.
