Comment (by agulbra):

 Test report 2/n.

 **Environment:** WordPress 6.8, in my case Brave as browser, both on
 linux, no plugins, WordPress freshly installed, no additional plugins, no
 pages added.

 To pass this test, you need https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/pull/5237 and PHPMailer 6.10.

 **Steps to test:** Open the WordPress admin page. Select "users" on the
 left-hand bar, then "add new user" near the top of the screen. Enter "grå"
 as username, "grå@grå.org" as email address. Choose any name and role.
 Click "add new user" near the bottom. (Grå is Norwegian, it means grey,
 and I use that as a test since I'm Norwegian. It's pronounced as org
 backwards.)

 **Test results:** All is well if WordPress adds the user and sends an
 email to the address you specified (and I suggest checking the log file of
 the outgoing MTA to see whether the message was actually sent). Later,
 WordPress will make an author page that looks like "/author/grå" and call
 the author "grå" on posts, which is a step forward from "gra" (one
 generally prefers not to call blog authors "gra").

 With 6.8, you get an error message instead, no message is sent, no user is
 added.

 (Feel free to use the grå.org domain for testing if you don't have one. It
 belongs to me (Arnt Gulbrandsen) and I don't mind. rød@ is forwarded to
 me, grå@ is an autoresponder.)
