French names have the same problem, with "La Réunion" being shown as "La Rcunion" and "Rhône-Alpes" as "RhAne-Alpes".

It's strange, I can't really understand how these accents can get mangled as these particular single letters.



Almost looks like OCR errors, especially Rhône -> RhAne.


I don't think that the reason are OCR errors. It's too consistent for that.

I think I also have seen such character set corruptions before, but I can't remember how exactly you can get these particular corruptions.


They're not OCR errors, unfortunately. Sorry for these problems! We have to investigate!
