For one of my recent beatmaps, I used the artist name µ's. The character µ is a greek character, so it is not a standard character. When using the standard english client with an American copy of Windows, everything works out fine, but on Star Stream's client he got
(Star deleted the picture, but it showed screwed up unicode on the top right of the osu! client (after you picked a song))

I tried replicating the issue, on my computer by changing osu's language, but the display was okay. As a result, I think it is a problem with how windows reads things.

Question 1: Is this problem solvable on osu!'s client?
Question 2: Should I just switch the artist to u's to avoid this issue?
Edit: osu! client doesn't allow me to switch it be u's

Beatmap in question:

Thanks for your help!

Edit: It also seems that foreign characters fail on osu!direct as well

Bump because another beatmap with the same issue is close to ranking (whether or not it will be ranked, is a different question)

First picture doesn't load.
However, isn't it just problem with missing fonts?
Nevermind, having same problem: Polish version of Windows 7 x64

Forgot about the first picture being deleted. Stated the content of the first pic though.
Also, thanks for confirming Marcin.

Well, about the content - It shows that letter fine from song select, and editor, problem only occurs on osu!direct.

It seems to be an issue with osu!direct on the client side. There are no problems with the original response from the server.

…… (Omitting unrelated beatmaps)

Btw, the artist should be "μ's" (μ: U+03BC "GREEK SMALL LETTER MU"), not "µ's" (µ: U+00B5 "MICRO SIGN") as you put it :P

Edit: It caused issues with extracted files' filename.
