README.md non-ASCII character and build

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug For the build process to succeed in windows the encoding should be explicitly set to UTF-8. It is guaranteed to fail otherwise, a similar incident happened on conda-forge and now see https://github.com/akamhy/videohash/pull/83.

The following line is a must for the package to be buildable on windows. https://github.com/akamhy/waybackpy/blob/7ac9353f74a4d44b1b69e6b19cdda3451eb3db5f/setup.py#L5

But https://github.com/akamhy/waybackpy/commit/e61447effddb1ab5d68e58ff07420f18f47a1c5b#diff-60f61ab7a8d1910d86d9fda2261620314edcae5894d5aaa236b821c7256badd7 moved all stuff from setup.py to setup.cfg. This means the build will fail on windows as we are not explicitly telling to set encoding to UTF-8.

Sorry, but using GitHub-hosted equivalent emojis appears to be a better Idea. Nothing will change for the end-user as we will be using the same images they were served before(GitHub replaces emojis with equivalent images).
