Yes, Windows is sometimes a mess with it's charsets. Not even sure which one it's using for cyrillic / russian (not UTF-8 it seems). Have it on my todo-list - PRs welcome though!

@yvesh Hi!
I would like to take part, but there is only one thing better than my C++ code - my poor english

Hey! i'm currently using FFI so i don't know if it's going to be of any help, but i am currently getting the correct window names this way:

 const buf = new Buffer.alloc(1024)
  const ret = win32.GetWindowTextW(hwnd, buf, 1024)
  const name = buf.toString('ucs2').replace(/\0+$/, '')

Where win32 is the user32 dll via ffi-napi library.

@edit: this does include emojis. Windows seems to not have a limit for window title size so it may be a problem sometimes.
