Description

#### Version info:
go-ipfs version: 0.6.0
Repo version: 10
System version: amd64/windows
Golang version: go1.14.4

#### Description:
After running the command to initialize the daemon to later configure to use the web plugin I got this error: `Error: mkdir C:\Users\Andr├®\.ipfs: O sistema não pode encontrar o caminho especificado.` (the last translates to: "The system cannot find o specified path").
I believe what caused this error was my user folder having a non-ASCII character(André). I've already tried to change the folder's name once, but it didn't work(windows 10 hehe). To reproduce the error one could probably just create a windows user with a non-ASCII character.
