Export registrant can't handle nordic characters was created by Petter
The scandinavian characters æ ø and å (and Æ, Ø and Å) are not handled correctly when exporting registrants (and to/from Paypal); they look like this: Kåfjord (KÃ¥fjord) - Tromsø (Tromsø) - Søreng (Søreng). and so on...
How to fix this?

Hi Petter
Unfortunately, to be honest, at the moment, we don't have a solution for this problem. yet. There is some limitation when handle csv export using csv programming language.
One of the solution is which customers has been using is that :
1. Open the csv file and change encoding of it manually .
2. Or upload the file to google doc and Google will convert the data manually .
I am sorry for the trouble but that's the solution for now !

Thanks Tuan,
I solved it locally by selecting Unicode when opening the csv-file in Libreoffice.
However in Paypal the issue is not solved and what is even more strange the character æ (æ) is displayed correctly, but å (å) and ø (ø) are not... Are there somewhere in the payment-module where the character set is defined?
