 When adding categories in administration that contains unicode characters
 such as the norwegian characters "æøå" they get displayed as a non-
 printable character (displaying a question mark).

 {{{
 Nyf�dte
 }}}


 I'm not sure what charset is used for these characters. Changing the
 browser to display as ISO-8859-1 or (-15) also displays it wrong.

 {{{
 Nyfï¿œdte
 }}}


 The category was added from the categories page, "wp-
 admin/categories.php". This page uses an Ajax call to add a new category.
 I guess this is where it goes wrong.

 This is when using Konqueror on Linux. Firefox gets it right.
