Title:
  nm-applet can't handle wlan SSIDs containing non-ASCII chars

Status in “network-manager-applet” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: network-manager-gnome

  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-manager-gnome
