UTF-8 characters #7

Hi, I'm struggling to get UTF-8 and emoji type special characters written to the IPTC data. I tried this: IPTCInfo(origPath, inp_charset='utf-8', out_charset='utf-8'). And clean: IPTCInfo(origPath)

But no joy, just keep getting this in the file info:

magistræde #🇩🇰

rather than this, which is the source (pulled from utf-8 JSON file):

magistræde #🇩🇰

@murraygm I was able to get it to work, seems ok using a test image I have here. I set the following: 

    # info['city'] = '#magistræde #🇩🇰'
    info.save()

And then loading the data again using: 

    info = iptcinfo3.IPTCInfo('testimage.jpg'])
    for k, v in info._data.items():
        print(k, v)

@murraygm if you can provide the code, the image, and the version of python you are using I can help futher, otherwise I am going to close the issue if it remains stale longer than the next two weeks. Also, please try the new version, pip3 install iptcinfo3 -U --no-cache. Should be version 2.1.4. Cheers!
