Description
I am using the feedparser-node to parse the RSS feed http://rss.golem.de/rss.php?feed=RSS2.0 . The article titles quite often contain the letters ä, ö or ü (possibly also ß), but they show up in msg.article.title as �.
- Node-RED version: 0.1.15
- feedparser version: 0.1.16

Research direction
Start by reproducing the feedparser-node issue with the linked Golem RSS feed and the reported Node-RED 0.1.15 and feedparser 0.1.16 versions. Trace how the RSS article title reaches msg.article.title; done means ä, ö, ü, and possibly ß remain readable instead of becoming �.
