Thanks for the report!

We currently translate from the "pretty-print" user interface name to
filesystem file names by converting to US-ASCII, *ignoring* all
non-ASCII characters.

We could to this with *transliteration* instead, which would turn the Ø
into an O (probably; this is a PHP-internal decision).

This would create a filename with "HiO" instead (good enough?) - it is
really not very advisable to keep the literal Ø as part of the file
name. You never know if some operating systems / filesystems don't like
these characters.

I'll leave it to Tomasz Wolniewicz to try this out though, this is his
code, not mine :-)
