OK, so the change doesn't solve any problem that I know off and especially not the problem of garbled characters in the web UI. In fact it hides the real problem making discovering it harder (not much but still) as some (touched) characters will display correctly.

In my opinion you fail to accept that in best case you didn't change nothing visibly, in worst case you introduced new bugs.

Quite frankly I doubt that and please stop suggesting that I requested switching default encoding for Polish to UTF-8 again (*after* the mentioned discussion in early 2015).
