Git messes up 'ø' character

I can't get my name: Noralf Trønnes, to come out correctly when I format and send a patch. The 'ø' becomes a question mark when received in my email client.

This is the head of the patch file generated by git format-patch:

     The Cc list above has been expanded by additional
     addresses found in the patch commit message. By default
     send-email prompts before sending whenever this occurs.
     This behavior is controlled by the sendemail.confirm
     configuration setting.

     For additional information, run 'git send-email --help'.
     To retain the current behavior, but squelch this message,
     run 'git config --global sendemail.confirm auto'.
