Markdown cannot contain not latin-1 characters

[syohex]

Markdown cannot be rendered if markdown file has not latin-1 chacters(Japanese characters, emoji etc).

For example, README.md is here

⌘

% grip --version
Grip 3.1.0
% grip README.md

And I accessed http://localhost:5000 then I got following error(and stack trace)

builtins.UnicodeEncodeError

UnicodeEncodeError: 'latin-1' codec can't encode character '\u2318' in position 0: ordinal not in range(256)

How can I avoid this ? (Or is this bug ?)

Thanks for awesome tool.

Ah, yeah, this is indeed a bug.

I was able to take a look tonight. Seems grip wasn't actually encoding the Unicode text it read from the README before sending it off to GitHub, leaving requests to use the default encoding of ISO 8859-1 (latin-1). Just deployed a fix that encodes to UTF-8 and sets the appropriate charset.

Run a pip install --upgrade grip and let me know if this works for you.

Thanks for opening the issue, @syohex!
