I think it seems right way.

I had to see the upstream code, and the script seems not there.
https://github.com/phuang/ibus-anthy/tree/master/data

I think we can choose the 2 ways:

1. just apply this patch
It seems not come from the upstream, so we don't need to take
care about it.

2. fix to work with both encoding zipfile
When the script get the exception, retry to open as utf-8, it may work
both version of anthy.
