Unicode characters break snap

[Thomi Richards]

Hi,

When I build and install a snap from your git repository it prints the
contents of my environment to the screen and exits 0.

By 'minimal reproducer' I mean a small, self-contained example that
demonstrates the problem. Most often the process of making such an example
will highlight the problem for you. Some hints can be found here:
http://sscce.org/

I'd be more than happy to take a look at a small example the reproduces the
problem. I can't reproduce the issue from your current git repository
though.

Cheers,
