Title:
  USC on oneiric and trunk is not handling unicode characters in
  application names

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Bug Description:
  A recent magazine came through with a unicode character in the title of the application and USC/SCA combo was unable to handle it.

  Version:
  n/a

  OS:
  64bit Oneiric

  USC Version:
  5.0.4

  Steps To Reproduce:
  1. Goto myapps
  2. Create an app with a unicode title
  3. Myapps will publish this
  4. USC will fail to download/install this

  Expected Results:
  I expect to be able to create an app and publish it.  That or we need to document that only non unicode characters may be applied to a title.
