Error with german U-Umlaut in friendly name of mqtt topic

[hansiputz]

Hi
Today I found that an mqtt topic I am using in the meter configuration got a timeout since last update to 0.120.0
Before the update it worked.

evcc.yaml
...
meters:

• name: grid_meter
  type: custom
  power:
  source: mqtt
  topic: ha/sensor/energie_surplus2/state
  timeout: 30s # don't accept values older than timeout
  scale: -1
  ...

And the (new) definition of the sensor in HA:
...

• platform: template
  sensors:
  energie_surplus2:
  friendly_name: "PV Ueberschuss (inkl. Akku Ladung)"
  unit_of_measurement: 'W'
  value_template: >-
  {% if ((states('sensor.battery_charge_discharge_power') | int) > 0) %}
  {{ states("sensor.power_meter_active_power") | int }}
  {% else %}
  {{ states("sensor.power_meter_active_power") | int + states("sensor.battery_charge_discharge_power") | int }}
  {% endif %}
  ...

Befor update the friendly_name was "PV Überschuss (inkl. Akku Ladung)"
After Update this topic got a timeout in ha:
[site ] ERROR 2023/09/19 18:57:34 grid meter: ha/sensor/energie_surplus2/state outdated: 34s

Changed Ü ==> Ue and everything worked again
