I have just upgraded a site from 4.6.2 to 4.8.0. The site is in swedish and I have experienced that the globalization culture in web.config that has worked best for swedish language has been "iso-8859-1" . I have used it in several sites in earlier versions of DNN. 

But now after upgrading to DNN 4.8.0 I get some weird characters in page title, or module title when updating a page or module settings. The swedish characters Å, Ä, Ö is being replaced by characters as Ã… Ä Ö Ã¥ ä ö . Those are definitively not swedish characters....

If I change to "utf-8" in web.config then it works almost fine, except that in custom modules, or in skins where I have coded swedish characters is being replaced now by a � character. (Yes, a square)

I´m having this problem with two completely different sites, so I guess maybe someone else has got the same problem.

What change has been done in DNN 4.8.0 that is causing this? Does anyone know how to solve it?

I can't answer the first major question, the this one struck in the summer.  I believe that it happened after a Microsoft upgrade to IIS.  In addition to text, it also caused the Blog Module to fail because there was a strange character in one of the code modules that previously had been interpreted as a blank or something.

The solution for that problem, was to go in and edit the offending text.

Although this doesn't offer any help for your issue, I thought I would document it here since this post helped me fix my issue. My client set up a 301 redirect of a domain name to a page of the DNN site I built for them. In IE6, the breadcrumbing for that page put a "Â" characters in for the blank spaces between links. Strangely, they only see this character when they go to the page from the redirect. No other page displays the error. Changing the webconfig from utf-8 to iso-8859-1 fixed the issue. I hope it didn't create other problems, though. If anyone has an explanation, I would be interested.
