Bad encoding used for task descriptions

When a description for a task contains non-ASCII characters (e.g. vowels with diacritical marks, or letters like "ñ"), which are common in Spanish, tasks are rendered using the bad encoding. See attached screenshot for a sample.

This happens in every browser I tried (Epiphany, Chromium, Firefox).

Also, this could be some issue with the database encoding being different than the one used to render pages. My recommendation is to use UTF-8 for everything (input, HTML render, intermediate data, database... everything), and do not suffer the pain of doing on-the-fly encoding conversion.

I discovered the problem is not at rendering, but at storing.

Ok, it should store and display all the texts right now.

Now just wait for the patch to be applied. ;-)

Really sorry for this bug. If you wrote Tasks fields with special characters, please check them, and rewrite if needed.
