[OSM-dev] OSM places with strange characters - 2600

[Dave]

The PHP function is working correctly.

The database value seems screwed though. From what you've got there it 
appears the text has been mangled into latin-1 by accident (ü -> ü) and 
then carefully returned as a UTF-8 string (ü mangled into latin-1 is ü).
