Cloudformation doesn't properly return non-ascii characters

Question

This is more of a bug report. I don't know if this is the right place to put it, an issue has already been created on the [cloudformation roadmap github](https://github.com/aws-cloudformation/cloudformation-coverage-roadmap/issues/814), but it has had no activity in almost 9 months, so I figured i would open a post here as well.

Using the aws-sdk, the http api, the aws cli and the aws cloudformation console, the [GetTemplate](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/APIReference/API_GetTemplate.html) action does not return non-ascii characters properly (e.g. æøå becomes ???). This results in invalid local comparisons between the cloudformation template in the cloud and the template on the local system. Fx when using the aws-cdk diff functionality, see [this issue](https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk/issues/10523) for more information.

If this is not the right place to report this bug, feel free to close it.
