title: NodeJS Extended ASCII Support
body: <p>I'm trying to read a file that contains extended ascii characters like 'á' or 'è', but NodeJS doesn't seem to recognize them. </p>
  
  <p>I tried reading into:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Buffer</li>
  <li>String</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Tried differente encoding types:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>ascii</li>
  <li>base64</li>
  <li>utf8</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>as referenced on <a href="http://nodejs.org/api/fs.html" rel="nofollow">http://nodejs.org/api/fs.html</a></p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to make this work?</p>
