Unicode characters get messed up

For example d3.js uses some weird unicode characters as variable names: https://github.com/mbostock/d3/blob/91d35b4205d4ef150c61c415b7379404bced7267/d3.js#L1283

Browserify outputs this as

var π = Math.PI, ε = 1e-6, d3_radians = π / 180, d3_degrees = 180 / π;

Which is syntax error.

Terrible practice by d3, but this should not break Browserify.

In case this helps anyone in the future: on Windows using powershell (posh git/git shell), redirecting browserify’s output with > mucks up utf8 characters. Instead, use -o: browserify [entry files] -o outputfile.js.
