Description

If special characters (such as accents, like é) are entered into a Directive variable, the special characters are replaced by "?".

I entered "Ceci est un mot accentué (héhéhé !)", after making sure my browser was in UTF-8. This came out in promises as "Ceci est un mot accentu? (h?h?h? !)"

I checked LDAP content and it has the right accents:

directiveVariable:: R0VORVJJQ19GSUxFX0NPTlRFTlRfUEFZTE9BRFswXTpDZWNpIGVzdCB1bi
 Btb3QgYWNjZW50dcOpIChow6low6low6kgISk=

# echo "R0VORVJJQ19GSUxFX0NPTlRFTlRfUEFZTE9BRFswXTpDZWNpIGVzdCB1bi
>  Btb3QgYWNjZW50dcOpIChow6low6low6kgISk=" | openssl base64 -d
GENERIC_FILE_CONTENT_PAYLOAD[0]:Ceci est un mot accentué (héhéhé !)

I saw this on 2.9.2 but I'm assuming it also happens since older versions.
