Invalid UTF-8 character to ampersand, skip it

[Thorsten]

Hi,

I have a fresh install with:
Debian 10.3
Freeswitch 1.10.2
FusionPBX 4.4.11
(with mysql as db backend)

System works fine for the first shot. But I get many warnings like that:

Do you have any hint for me to solve this?

Best regards, Thorsten

I tracked it down: When using german umlauts like ö or ä or ä in the fields Effective Caller ID Name or Outbound Caller ID Name in extension configuration the error occurs. When using oe instead ö it works fine without these warning messages.

The error does not occur in the following setup:

Debian: 10.1
Freeswitch: 1.10.1
FusionPBX: 4.4.8

Maybe someone could check this in his setup to find out if this is an error within FusionPBX.
