Description

Neuron currently does not accept unicode characters in it's CLI.

For example, neuron new Piemērs results in a note with title Piem��rs. Same applies to other commands, such as neuron query -t piemērs.

This problem only exists when using neuron CLI. If notes have unicode characters, they get correctly rendered in the static website.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Trace the CLI argument handling in the neuron source code to see where unicode characters are being corrupted. Focus on string conversion from command line to internal representation.
