locallang.xml will not allow special chars in the default section
0%
Description
When using the default section of locallang.xml to define strings you can not use special characters while the typo3 installation is running in utf-8 mode.
For example.
<label index="list_mode_3">Temp. in °C</label> will not output the ° but a ?
This is also true when using other valid utf-8 characters (like ü ä ß 㦒 㦒 㦒 and so on). It's working fine if you are using any other languageKey.

Language "default" is per definition restricted to the characters of latin1. But thhose accented letters and umlauts must be encoded in utf-8. Make sure your editor writes utf-8 data when editing the locallang.xml file.

That's the problem.
I'm very sure that the file was edited with an UTF-8 Editor. (Since the locallang.xml also contains the other languages)
My Typo3 installation was first only with latin1 characters. But I needed more languages (Russia, Chinese) so I converted the installation to UTF-8 (force_charset and database tables).
Before I converted the installation accented letters and umlauts weren't a problem in the default section. After that it is! I know that there is a special routine which take care of accented letters and umlauts in default section. And as far as I can see this isn't working when the complete installation is running in the UTF-8 mode.

UTF-8 should meanwhile work fine in current releases.
