We have a umlaut (and French letters) problem in #Friendica.
I have no time to check/open an issue. Can someone check I they can reproduce and then open an issue?
See this reply specifically.

•@utzer [Friendica] It’s the second time this month that people reports encoding issues with Friendica output. It should have been simple, Friendica always outputs UTF-8 text, even if it doesn’t say so explicitly. But some platforms defaults to ISO 8859-1, a remnant of a distant path, when they don’t get explicit encoding information.
It is starting to piss me off that we will have to ensure the encoding is set in all outgoing requests.

•@Hypolite Petovan and what explains the encoding issue on the other Friendica server in the user name mentioned?

•@utzer [Friendica] Here are my initial findings:
- https://social.yl.ms/objects/e18176ef-1265-69cb-ae0b-50b145353709 doesn't show the encoding issue in the mention display name
- https://friendica.mrpetovan.com/display/e18176ef-1265-69cb-ae0b-50b145353709 shows the encoding issue in the display name
However, I wasn't able to retrieve a source message for this post, so I don't know how it looked when it reached my node, but the mention shows OK:
