For a long time we remained tethered to a national codepage and the output worked fine.

chcp 1251
srm --simple --verbose "C:\Test\тест.txt"
srm.exe: removing C:\Test\тест.txt

But today there is Unicode which handles existing written languages, however srm outputs � instead.

chcp 65001
srm --simple --verbose "C:\Test\тест.txt"
srm.exe: removing C:\Test\����.txt

Would you mind adding support of Unicode, please?

    I'm not an expert in Windows development and it'll take some time for me to research how to build on Windows a command line program, that handles UTF-8 correctly. I'll get to it, it may take some time though. Of course any help with a patch is welcome.
