Let's see: root@srv01:/opt/mailman/mailman-bundler/var/data# sqlite3 mailman.db sqlite> select description from mailinglist; ? sqlite> select unicode(description) from mailinglist; 63 sqlite> update mailinglist set description="á" where description="?"; sqlite> select description from mailinglist; á sqlite> select unicode(description) from mailinglist; 225 After this update, the description is what I wanted. It shows correctly both in lists overview and in the list identity page. If I hit Save changes from GUI, I get "?" again. So it would seem the problem is getting non-ASCII char from GUI to the db. I even tried the db-update-way with longer non-ASCII strings, and everything was fine up until (re)saving the description from GUI. Shall I file a bug?
