Description Michael Tremer 2020-03-20 16:56:29 UTC 
It breaks any string that contains special characters like an Umlaut for example (äöü) and shows some funny UTF-8 characters in the table after hitting "Save".

This probably only needs to be consistently encoded when read and written to file.

The same happens for OpenVPN as well. The attached screenshot is after multiple attempts to create a connection with invalid name, hence multiple wrongly encoded UTF-8 bytes, and after successfully creating a new connection. In the latter case the web-UI as well as the input to change the remark show individual UTF-8 bytes instead of the correct character "ö".

Can confirm this, just had the same issue when writing "Büro" into any remark of a dhcp lease.

This results e.g. in 
  Echo Dot (Büro)
