To fix it I had to set the content encoding of the interface to ISO-8859-1.
Not that anybody cares or anything.
This is exactly why no one likes Swedes. :o

You're reading too much into my post. Just because we have french customers doesn't mean those particular customers were using that particular interface. The one I'm referring to only uses Netherlands and Belgium. I'm pretty sure the ones that do use french customers already have content encoding built-in.

Of course I am! People need to be given Coke, and it's your job to make sure they have some sugary drinks at their disposal after the end of a tough day.
And for some reason they can't drink beer. Or something. But what you do is too awesome for anything to go wrong!

We include them in our official alphabet. So our last letters aren't XYZ, but ÅÄÖ.

Why no unicode..? Besides the fact that programming to support unicode, even after 20+ years of general support, can be a pain in the ass...

I meant "what makes åäö more special than æøå". I'm aware that you also include them in your alphabet, just like us and Denmark.
