Description
Lately I noticed a lot of broken image links on a client site. I went into the media library and noticed many blank squares of thumbnails for images that were supposed to be there. I also clicked the images and noticed there was no edit image preview images.
What all the broken images have in common is that they all use the Norwegian letters æ, ø or å.
What is very much needed is that foreign characters are renamed to English characters. (I believe there are multiple tickets for auto renaming foreign characters.)
I have attached two screenshots.

The question then becomes how do I get the images back again?
Right now I had to open a backup and search for the missing images. Rename them so they do not contain æ,ø or å and then use Replace Media plugin to replace the missing images with the renamed images. All of this trouble because of the unique Norwegian characters.
