[OpenTRV-dev] OT: replacement of danish char's inside a word

[Mike Stirling]

Where in the system do the special characters go wrong?  I ask because 
you should really deal with these sorts of problems by making sure 
everything is speaking the same character encoding.  This will work for 
everything, not just the small set of characters you manually fix up.

eg. if you have a MySQL database you need to make sure your table 
collation is set to utf8_general_ci.
