 Seems that new WP site is not happy with my name and insists it should be
 M?ris instead of Māris (a slight, but significant difference).

 How to test:
 * open profile page https://staging.www.osgeo.org/wp-admin/profile.php
 * change your "First Name" to "Māris" (or "ēŗūīōāšģķļžčņ" for better
 effect)
 * hit "Update profile" button
 * go back to "First Name" field ("??????š???ž??" – really?)

 Either non-latin letters should be instantly rejected before save or saved
 as is (not lost).
