[Mailman-Users] Mailman 3 list description - non-ASCII characters?

Let's see:

root at srv01:/opt/mailman/mailman-bundler/var/data# sqlite3 mailman.db
sqlite> select description from mailinglist;
?
sqlite> select unicode(description) from mailinglist;
63
sqlite> update mailinglist set description="á" where description="?";
sqlite> select description from mailinglist;
á
sqlite> select unicode(description) from mailinglist;
225

After this update, the description is what I wanted. It shows correctly both in lists overview and in the list identity page.
If I hit Save changes from GUI, I get "?" again.
So it would seem the problem is getting non-ASCII char from GUI to the db.
I even tried the db-update-way with longer non-ASCII strings, and everything was fine up until (re)saving the description from GUI.
Shall I file a bug?

Thanks,
