Themes Trac browser does not display UTF-8 text correctly

[SergeyBiryukov]

On Core and Plugins Trac, UTF-8 text is displayed correctly:
​https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/4.4.2/tests/phpunit/tests/pomo/po.php#L115
​https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/edit-parent-comment-id/tags/0.3/edit-parent-comment-id-ru_RU.po#L24

On Themes Trac that's not the case, looks like ISO-8859-1 is the default encoding there:
​https://themes.trac.wordpress.org/browser/zalive/1.3.4/languages/ru_RU.po#L20

Possibly the default_charset is set to the iso setting, or the mimeview component has a setting to correct for this for text/gettext files. Something in the trac.ini file, anyway.

I was able to reproduce this bug locally by changing the default_charset under the [trac] section in trac.ini to iso-8859-1. When I changed it back to utf-8, the characters displayed properly. So I think someone with access may just need to set

default_charset = utf-8

under the [trac] section of trac.ini for the Themes Trac.

Who has access to the Themes Trac config?

BuddyPress Trac appears to have the same issue. UTF-8 text in this patch is not displayed correctly:

A bunch of Trac's have default_charset = utf-8 and a bunch have default_charset = iso-8859-15.

Standardising on the former seems like a safe change, I'll request systems make the update.
