Grub2 menu won't display entries with foreign characters. The entry is accounted for and the previous entry is displayed instead.
I suggest that grub_isprint and grub_isalpha be corrected to include accented characters. UTF and multibyte characters will definetely be a challenge but ISO8859-* should be feasible.

I can't reproduce this with current Debian sid version.
Maybe the parser bug fixes fixed that too.
Even with ascii.pf2 instead of unicode.pf2 they still get shown but of course with ? instead of the character.
