Description
Your Rocket.Chat version: 0.32
When using rocket.chat with an active directory as ldap backend we see that umlauts (äöü) are not shown propably. It seems that "ä" is mapped to "a" - is this purpose? IMHO it would be better to show the actual letter or to convert it to "ae".

Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is identified in the issue. Start by reproducing the umlaut handling with Rocket.Chat 0.32 and an Active Directory LDAP backend, then trace where LDAP names are converted; done means ä, ö, and ü are displayed according to an agreed conversion rather than being silently reduced.
