The Swedish characters å, ä, ö, Å, Ä, Ö, they don't get their correct HTML codes.

å is displayed as Ã¥ (should be å)
ä is displayed as ä (should be ä)
ö is displayed as ö (should be ö)

Å, Ä, Ö are all displayed as Ã� (should be Å Ä Ö respectively)

(This seems to be a typical encoding problem. I have seen exactly the same happen under certain circumstances when importing / exporting mySQL dumps with swedish characters using phpMyAdmin)

The problem use to arise when there is an unfortunate mix of latin1 and utf-8 charsets, e.g. in the database connection, which seems to easily happen, since some settings seem to default to latin1 in mySQL.

If this is the problem I recommend the following page (A guy who had a similar problem): http://www.adviesenzo.nl/examples/php_mysql_charset_fix/

I just tested the latest dev version for 4.7 (v 1.50, from 2006-12-17) and noticed that this problem has disappeared. Thanks!
