Progress bar encoding error - Windows

[aornugent]

Total edge case, but this:

edward/edward/util/progbar.py

Line 83 in 0a995ae

bar += ('█' * prog_width)

causes edward to crash on my system:

UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character '\u2588' in position 17: character maps to <undefined>

Switching to any other character resolves the issue.

Does a simple try/except, whose except block swaps the character with a more compatible character work? Seems like an easy fix.

@aornugent could you specify a character that works?

[aornugent]

I went with '+'

#692. This fix is still up for grabs if anyone's interested. Should be a 3-5 line addition for the try/except block.
