This fix will be implemented in LUNA post version 7.1.2.5

You will need to edit several files on your server.

In the Directory LUNA/tomcat/luna_apps you will find the following files. Edit the 'dataSource' bean:

In editor.war: daoContext.xml
In luna.war: applicationContext.xml
In las.war: servlet-context.xml

Add 

    <property name="useUnicode">
      <value>true</value>
    </property>
    <property name="characterEncoding">
      <value>utf-8</value>
    </property>

Next Edit

LUNA/tomcat/luna_apps/editor.war/WEB-INF/web.xml

Insert the following before 

</web-app>
    <filter>
        <filter-name>CharacterEncoding</filter-name>
        <filter-class>
            org.springframework.web.filter.CharacterEncodingFilter
        </filter-class>
        <init-param>
            <param-name>encoding</param-name>
            <param-value>UTF-8</param-value>
        </init-param>
        <init-param>
            <param-name>forceEncoding</param-name>
            <param-value>true</param-value>
        </init-param>
    </filter>

    <filter-mapping>
        <filter-name>CharacterEncoding</filter-name>
        <url-pattern>/e/*</url-pattern>
    </filter-mapping>
