Unicode error

Bắt đầu với tasklib/backends.py, đặc biệt là execute_command, nơi đầu ra của p.communicate() được giải mã, và tái hiện lỗi bằng cách sử dụng các task chứa những ký tự đã được báo cáo. Xác định cách xử lý mong đợi đối với đầu ra đó và xác minh rằng việc lọc các task bị ảnh hưởng không còn gây ra UnicodeDecodeError, đồng thời bổ sung kiểm thử hồi quy nếu có vị trí kiểm thử phù hợp.

I have a task generated by bugwarrior from a github issue. The githubbody UDA contains this line:

  UDA githubbody:   blah blah blah blhín blah blah blah

Also, another github issue, that contains this: 👏🏽, is being transformed into:

Annotation:        2020-07-24 14:00:31 -- @pontusj - Well done! That was not at all obvious! ꃭ辱ꃭ붿

While using the taskwiki plugin in vim, I got an error:

Using task edit I managed to pinpoint the problem to these particular taskwarrior tasks. I used vim with task edit and searched for \%xed. The character í was highlighted. That's how I assumed the first task was to blame. Removing the strange character did not solve the issue. To find the second task, I manually loaded each task in taskwiki. Removing the strange characters at the end, solved the issue. So perhaps that was the issue all along.

Perhaps, it is the responsibility of bugwarrior to filter such characters, but given the broad range of sources that can go into taskwarrior, perhaps it would be simpler to fix such an issue in tasklib.
