Title:
  Non-ASCII letters not allowed in Unity dash search field and in HUD

Status in Unity:
  Expired
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  When I press Super to open Unity dash, I cannot type non-ASCII letters
  in the search field.  My system is in Esperanto, which means that
  Software Updater is called "Ĝisdatigilo de programaroj".  However,
  when I press "Ĝ", nothing appears.  The same occurs for the Danish
  letters on my keyboard such as æ, ø, and å and some of the symbols on
  my keyboard, such as ½, §, and €. It seems to be only ASCII characters
  that work, as symbols such as & and $ are just fine.

  The same is the case for the HUD.

  I can still type the English name of a program to locate it in the
  Dash, but it would be nice to not have to do that.
