d.vect: Accents in legend_label cause encoding error

[mlennert]

I don't know why I didn't see this before, but I now get an error when using accents in the legend_label

d.vect map=myhospitals@user1 type=point,line,boundary,area,face fill_color=red width=1 legend_label="Les hôpitaux"

Replying to annakrat:

Try r69116.

Seems to solve the issue, thanks !

I'll just leave open for now to test with some more special characters when I have the time.

Backported in r69176 to 7.2. I suggest to close this.
