Hi,

Thank you for the report. This looks like a bug in FreeOrion but I need
at least your freeorion.log and freeoriond.log which are located in your
~/.freeorion directory before I can forward this issue upstream.

At the moment I can't reproduce the bug because I don't know how to type
such a character. How can I enter this character on a standard keyboard
without special keys?

Regards,

Markus
