project.clj's description gets its encoding messed up

[hanjos]

My project.clj's description is in Portuguese, and has some diacritical marks. The file is saved in UTF-8, yet the text is messed up when Marginalia generates the documentation: "Provê" becomes "Provê", for example.

This happens only with project.clj's description; the rest of the uberdoc shows accents just fine. In particular, here's how the description was written in the uberdoc:

<meta content="Provê endpoints JSONP para as ferramentas de integração contínua." name="description">

<!-- snip... -->
<p>Provê endpoints JSONP para as ferramentas de integração contínua.</p>

My current hypothesis is that the description is read with the wrong encoding, which a quick REPL session seems to confirm (using code from marginalia.core/parse-project-file):

user=> (-> "./project.clj" 
           (java.io.File.) 
           (java.io.FileReader.) 
           (clojure.lang.LineNumberingPushbackReader.) 
           (read))
(defproject something/something "0.4.0-SNAPSHOT" :description "Provê e
ndpoints JSONP para as ferramentas de integração contínua." :url "..."
