Bug Description
In the administrator area, the members page, I wanted to enter the name of a subscriber. Her name is Çelikoǧlu. Note that the Turkish ǧ is not supported by most encodings. It gave an error in that nothing happened: her name wasn’t changed.
?? Doesn’t Mailman work with utf-8 ??

If the list's preferred language is Turkish, the character set is iso-8859-9. The character set used depends on the language and is defined in the LC_DESCRIPTIONS dictionary which is initialized at the end of Defaults.py.
You can change the character set for Turkish to utf-8, but you also have to convert messages/ tr/LC_MESSAGES/ mailman. po and templates/tr/* to utf-8 and rebuild messages/ tr/LC-Messages/ mailman. mo.
Note however that in spite of any character set issues, you should have been able to enter a name with the ǧ and have it at least display as ǧ (it actually should display as a character, but xss protection goes overboard in escaping the '&').
