Public bug reported:
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
