            Bug ID: 455089
           Summary: Certain characters (like ü,ö,ä,ß but also ' ) in CD
                    Metadata replaced with ## in ripped .flac files
           Product: k3b
           Version: 22.04.1
          Platform: Archlinux Packages
                OS: Linux

SUMMARY
I ripped a bunch of audio CDs to flac and noticed that while the filenames of
the resulting files where normal, their Metadata had all sorts of characters
replaced, e. g. "Don't Stop Me Now" became "Don##t stop me now".
I was able to correct these mistakes by editing the metadata in other software,
so clearly this is not a limitation of Flac's Metadata format.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Find an audio CD that has characters such as ' or üöäß in its album title,
artist name or track names
2. Rip it with K3b
3. Take a look at the metadata of the resulting files using e. g. VLC

OBSERVED RESULT
The characters are replaced with ## in the metadata but the filename is usually
fine.

EXPECTED RESULT
The metadata should look normal
