Title:
  grub2 unicode support on encrypted ubuntu

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “grub2” package in Debian:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub2

  I am using grub on an fully encrypted system. When grub is loading
  only /boot is available. In the German translation the unicode
  characters ä,ü,ö ß are displayed as ?.

  On not encrypted systems the characters are in the right way. This I
  also exact on an encrypted system. Whit grub 1 there was no any
  problem like this.

  Bug fixing idea:

  By running an diff between the grub.cfg of both systems I found out
  that, unicode.pf2 in /usr/share/grub/ could not load because of the
  encryption. Maybe it is an idea to move this file to /boot/grub/…
