Description
Over the command line this fails, however doing this over the web interface this passes.
```
-> % cat snowman
Do you wanna build a ☃? Come on lets go and play I never see you anymore Come out the door It's like you've gone away- We used to be best buddies And now we're not I wish you would tell me why. Do you wanna build a ☃? It doesn't have to be a ☃..
```
```
-> % keybase encrypt -s blainesch snowman

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with the command-line `keybase encrypt` and `keybase decrypt` commands using the provided `snowman` text, then compare this with the web-interface behavior. Done means UTF-8 characters such as the snowman survive CLI encryption and decryption without mojibake, while the valid signature remains intact.
