Danish/Norwegian characters (ÆØÅ/æøå) displayed as garbled text #1

Description

@bse4792

What happens:
Characters like æ, ø, å are shown as æ, ø, Ã¥ in the interface.

Example:

Should be: S15 Fastgørelse af ramme til gavl bjælke

Shows as: S15 Fastgørelse af ramme til gavl bjælke

Cause:
The program reads UTF-8 encoded text as if it were ISO 8859-1 (Latin-1).

Fix:
Add support for UTF-8 encoding (or auto-detect encoding when reading IFC files).

Steps to reproduce:

Open any IFC file containing Æ, Ø, Å, æ, ø, or å

Look at element names or properties with these characters
