[Bug 2046151] Re: lshw -html: accented characters disappear in class="second"

[Astrolivier]

hello,

bug is in the escape fonction in osutils.cc

I've tried it with gdb and when you have an accentuated character the
condition passes then begins again with the first condition (== 0x9)
then continue the for loop

haven't found out why yet.

joined gdb text file (I modified the string s to have accents, they're
not ok in the linked file, should be ("hèèhe"))

Title:
  lshw -html: accented characters disappear in class="second"

Status in lshw package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hello,


  Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS
  lshw version: 02.19.git.2021.06.19.996aaad9c7-2build1

  Expected: all characters must be shown in lshw -html.

  What happened instead: in French language, when running lshw -html,
  accented characters are suppressed in class="second" also not in
  class="first".
