Cannot set Japanese charactors in list subject

[frisky-gh]

At setting page "/wws/edit_list_request/LIST-ID/description", I cannot set Japanese characters in list subject.
If I set subject including characters such as "あ", those characters store as invalid, such as "Ã�Â".
I use sympa-6.2.16 (debian stable).

It is caused by character encoding. Perhaps, it will be fixed following patch:

Hi @frisky-gh,

確証はないですが、この件はSympa 6.2.24で直っているかもしれません (#134)。busterで試していただくことは可能でしょうか。

I’m not sure but the bug may possibly be fixed by Smpa 6.2.24 (see issue #134). Could you please check the buster?

というか、#134での本質的な修正はこれだけですね。stableにこのパッチを適用して確認いただくのでもいいです。
