This Bug terribly distuirbs the functionanlity of german language groups - up to a degree that german language group chat is widely seen as collapsed. If you type in german its hardly possible to avoid theese characters. I strongly urge you to gve this bug a high priority!

I can't test this on French groups, because even IMs in English with no accents never get through...

But international characters are a problem throughout the system: filenames, text input etc etc. Sometimes you get beeped at, other times the input is accepted but later either is missing or comes up as double question marks ??

Duped by ~~VWR-653~~, I saw mention of this come up before in VWR-513 but for the sake of clarity, this should have its own issue, so thanks for reporting it.

I just can emphasize Thor's comment: It's terrible if you write a phrase with more than four words and with a simple error message everything is gone. TOO LATE all time! NO fluent chat possible! URGENT!
Should be a touch to fix it - swearing an old experienced german software architect.
