Jira (PUP-7031) Unicode characters in 'comment' don't round-trip on Windows

Moses Mendoza commented on PUP-7031   Re: Unicode characters in 'comment' don't round-trip on Windows It looks like Ruby's `WIN32OLE` has a class-level `codepage` attribute could be material: https://ruby-doc.org/stdlib-2.3.1/libdoc/win32ole/rdoc/WIN32OLE.html#method-c-codepage. The value of WIN32OLE codepage is initially set based on `Encoding.default_internal` and falls back to `Encoding.default_external`. Manipulating this value appears to allow us to set/retrieve the values correctly: [18] pry(#<Puppet::Util::Windows::ADSI::User>)> WIN32OLE.codepage => 437 [19] pry(#<Puppet::Util::Windows::ADSI::User>)> native_user.Get(attribute) => "??" [20] pry(#<Puppet::Util::Windows::ADSI::User>)> WIN32OLE.codepage = 65001 => 65001 [21] pry(#<Puppet::Util::Windows::ADSI::User>)> native_user.Get(attribute) => "\u{2070E}" However, this is a class-level change which would presumably affect all objects leveraging this interface, so I'm cautious of the implications of changing this value lightly for our purposes here. But...maybe this is what we want to do. We don't seem to be able to set this codepage value on individual WIN32OLE connection object instances. Thoughts Ethan Brown?
