Installing from source on Windows fails during the "preparing metadata" stage. This is the culprit:

  generate_metadata(dist_info / "METADATA").write_text(project.get_metadata_file_contents())

  UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character '\U0001f389' in position 3871: character maps to <undefined>

It turns out that character is 🎉, aka party popper, which does appear in README.md. If we remove it, the Windows build succeeds?
