Unicode rears its ugly head

[ketsuban]

The query "What is Pokémon?" silently drops the é and then tells me there is no result in the database for "Pokmon". "What is Tyranitar?", on the other hand, got me this gem from Freebase:

are one of the 493 fictional species of Pokￃﾩmon creatures from the multi-billion-dollar Pokￃﾩmon media franchise, designed by Ken Sugimori. The purpose of Tyranitar in the games, anime, and manga, as with all other Pokￃﾩmon, is to battle both wild Pokￃﾩmon￢ﾀﾔuntamed creatures that characters encounter while embarking on various adventures and tamed Pokￃﾩmon creatures owned by Pokￃﾩmon trainer.

In case Github eats them, the two middle characters are U+FFC3 HALFWIDTH HANGUL LETTER AE and U+FFA9 HALFWIDTH HANGUL LETTER RIEUL - how U+00E9 LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH ACUTE ended up as that is beyond me. (It may be a bug in the database, because the query "What is Pikachu?" gets back a correctly formatted page.)
