fortune/datfiles safe.

I so much hate it when people drop the umlaut in my name and write "Floter" -
this usually happens while being in America because people don't know better.
My name is Flöter or Floeter ("ae", "oe", or "ue" are the correct

They are different letters with different pronunciations

do we want to delete them? or replace them with proper utf-8 sequences?
Hi,
"Punctuation followed by backspace" hasn't been the right way to enter
accents for a long time.
ok?
