Not specifically. I initially only wanted to mention that there is
a xorriso alternative to setting LANG. Both ways have different
implications in detail. (LANG is global to the test code. The
xorriso charset commands would affect only the xorriso run.)

But my attempt to reproduce the problem failed and i do not yet know why
exactly your xorriso run had conversion problems although no explicit
character set conversion was demanded. So i hoped for an enlightening
error message.

It happens only if i tell xorriso explicitely that it shall convert to
UTF-8. In the next step it vanishes when i also tell xorriso to also
convert from UTF-8.

I will investigate further for the sake of a better xorriso.
If i find something of interest for GRUB then i will report.


Have a nice day :)
