Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-
Recently I have discovered that nm-applet does not list wlan networks with non-ASCII characters in the SSID name.
However iwlist detects and shows the network and since this certain SSID contains a non-UTF-8 character the terminal only shows me a "?".
You may think that this bug is a duplicate of #27171 or #75554 but I think it is a different bug because it is about the handling of non-ASCII/non-UTF-8 characters in nm-applet.
$ dpkg -l | grep network-
ii network-
$ cat /etc/lsb-release
