 Dear developers,

 we encounter problems on our site when uploading MP3s that contain German
 Umlauts (äöüÄÖÜß) in their ID3 tags. The error returned is “Could not
 insert attachment into database”.

 Example file: https://cba.media/wp-content/uploads/example_with_umlaut.mp3

 This issue was posted for the first time here:
 https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upload-problems-with-umlauts-in-
 id3-tags/#post-16189804 and still persists.


 Thanks for your help and best regards
