Public bug reported:
It seems there can be encoding problems inside snaps.
Example 1:
1. Install the "hello-world" snap.
2. Run "hello-world.sh" (a shell is started).
3. Try to write something with an accented or special character, like "Olá
Mundo" or "€".
It doesn't work.
Example 2:
1. Create a simple python script that prints an accented character, like:
#!/usr/bin/env python3
print("Olá Mundo!")
2. Package it in a snap that provides that script as an app.
3. Run that snappy app.
It raises an exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/snap/ola/100001/ola", line 2, in <module>
print("Ol\xe1 Mundo!")
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character '\xe1' in position 2:
ordinal not in range(128)
