      1. Ideally, run tests under both linux and windows. Although they have been already run (see the results some comments below).

      Behat tests

      1. Ensure that your config.php file has the following, so the test is executed, not skipped: 

        $CFG->skiplangupgrade = false;
        		 
        define('TOOL_LANGIMPORT_REMOTE_TESTS', true);

      2. Init behat.
      3. Run the 'Verify that the day and month names are displayed using UTF-8' feature (using the --name option).
      4. Verify that it ends with FOUR scenarios passed (not skipped).

    Description

      Steps to reproduce:

      1. Install Moodle 4.1 on a Windows machine (e.g. package available here https://download.moodle.org/windows/)
      2. Install the french lang pack
      3. Set the preferred language of a user as French
      4. Login as this user
      5. Got to the dashboard
      6. Observe that month names with diacriticals (e.g "Décembre") are garbled.

      Expected behaviour: months names with diacriticals should display correctly.

      See https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=441070 for discussion.

      Maybe a regression introduced by MDL-76470.
