Encfsctl handles nordic characters incorrectly

[NiklasThunvik]

Environment

• Windows version: Windows 7
• Processor architecture: x64
• Encfs4win version: 1.10.1-RC10
• Dokan version (legacy, modern): modern

Description

When trying to encode/decode paths with nordic characters they get mangled by encfsctl. They do work when mounting using encfs though.

Expected behavior vs. actual behavior

encfs and encfsctl should encode paths in the same way. Now they don't.

Mounted drive encodes path "/ÅÄÖ" as "3my7AtPXTpUFz6HqAn-1zESJ".
Trying to encode the same path using encfsctl returns "X6F60-PunHHH0CUQ5Onw906Z"

Using encfsctl to decode "3my7AtPXTpUFz6HqAn-1zESJ" returns "ÅÄÖ"
Using encfsctl to decode the path returned by itself "X6F60-PunHHH0CUQ5Onw906Z" returns "┼─Í"

Steps to reproduce problem

1. Mount a drive
2. Create a folder named "ÅÄÖ"
3. Take the encoded name and try to decode it using encfsctl
   OR
4. Try to encode the same path using encfsctl and the encoded paths should match.

Hi @NiklasThunvik -- thanks for the bug report!

Is this issue specific to encfsctl, or does it also exist in encfs?

[NiklasThunvik]

It seems to be specific to encfstl. Encfs behaves correctly.

[jetwhiz]

It might be as simple as adding "SetConsoleCP(65001);" to set the console to uft-8 here: https://github.com/jetwhiz/encfs4win/blob/master/encfs/encfsctl.cpp#L756

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
  SetConsoleCP(65001);
  
  encfs::init_mpool_mutex();
  
  START_EASYLOGGINGPP(argc, argv);
  encfs::initLogging();

We'll have to see how this impacts decode and encode though. Can you see if this fixes your issue?
