Swedish characters seem broken on AppDB-site

[odecif]

Hi!

I have noticed that instead of showing the swedish umlaut-characters (å ä ö) on entries in the AppDB it instead shows diamonds with question marks in them (for example https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager. ... &iId=20546). I am not sure when this happened but it should probably be looked in to.

Attached is an image of how it looks and I've tested this on 2 computers, one running Windows in swedish and one running Manjaro in english.

Thanks for the hard work!

I've fixed that page. If there are any others, post links here.

I believe this is a bigger problem than just game pages. For example I can see that the test results of https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager. ... &iId=37869 also now have missing Å Ä and Ö characters. Is there maybe some way to bulk-check this?

For more references I can see the following pages need update
https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager. ... gId=112027

And the following testresults
https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager. ... &iId=37869 (all)
https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager. ... &iId=37844 (all)
https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager. ... &iId=37851 (two latest results)
https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager. ... &iId=32259 (two latest results + notes)

The developer "Levande Böcker" also seem to have been garbled https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager. ... +Developer

I've fixed those. There is no way to bulk check this.

Hi Rosanne!

I watched this issue since the AppDB database (and others) was highjacked some years ago.
Also, German vovel mutations (Umlauts) did not work. And I saw now you fixed the author's name of the JavaEditor.
My idea was to create a sed-script that fixes all known Aliens in a database dump.

If I can help in some ways, please mail me!
