Probably you meant wxGTK+ without Unicode support, didn't you?
It might be the matter if you'll been trying to write in English,
Swedish and non-ISO-8859-1 languages at the same time, but you
don't need Unicode support in wxGTK+ specially, since in my Emacs/
poEdit those characters appear correctly, command file (4.10)
outputs:

    $ file xfcalendar_sv.po
    xfcalendar_sv.po: UTF-8 Unicode PO (gettext message catalogue) text

or UTF-8 Unicode English text. If your file encoding kept
ISO-8859-1, it would output

    ISO-8859 PO (gettext message catalogue) text

and you need to convert encoding of PO file itself with

    $ iconv -f ISO-8859-1 -t UTF-8 iso8859-1_sv.po > utf-8_sv.po

in your terminal (but usually, the above misencoding don't happen
i.e. PO file has header 'Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8'
while saved encoding is ISO-8859-1 in poEdit).
