UTF-8 characters in Nagios UI

I think the status info is Ajax-ed in...  If so, it’s a separate HTTP
request and process to display it, so being “different” should come as no
surprise.

So it may not be output by the server as UTF-8, or the Ajax routines to
parse/display the output may be maniuplating it as if it’s ASCII...

You could probably do some digging in LiveHeaders in FireFox to narrow down
the issue a bit...

You may even be able to solve it :-)
