FLAC.exe import tag from file, UTF8 é character is getting trashed

A download of the problem is here:
https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php/topic,115569.msg953473.html

My FLAC encoder is trashing UTF8 character

é

and possibly these too (similar encodings)

ê ë è

when the vorbis comment tag is imported (at least) from a file.  See the

Exposé-Exposure.flac_cmdline.txt

file for the call to flac.exe.  The .cue that is imported (as a comment) is like this:

"--tag-from-file=CUESHEET=G:\music_flac_cds\expose\Exposé-Exposure.cue"

I have not looked at flac.exe source for why this happens.  The build I am using is from the source package dated 19 Jan 2017.

It doesn't know the file is in UTF-8 format already so it re-encodes it. Use flac.exe --no-utf8-convert --tag-from-file=CUESHEET=Exposé-Exposure.cue.

Thanks.  That trick did it.
