I do not understand the problem here.

The invalid text is presumably the dots over the o in the place name. The anglicised version is also recorded. A search to match a place of birth will presumably match the anglicised name.

We are aware that UTF8 has not been implemented on the csv collection. There is a story that covers this.

Characters that are not currently recognised are appearing in the Gazetteer and that is deliberate. Irish names in particular require this to be able to record the Gaelic name. We are collecting these names so that the Gazetteer is comprehensive and will not need to be revisited.

In this case the place name is in Sweden and the letter o is recorded correctly.

This issue will be addressed during development of POB searching as UTF8 is implemented.
