He is referring to the fact that the city's name in
all languages except Danish is Malmö (in Danish it is
Malmø).

ö = \u00F6
ø = \u00F8

I suspect that Robert neither know these letters nor has a keyboard
setup to enter them.

So he just used Malmo.

The official translation to English alphabet of both ö and ø is oe,
but few outside Scandinavia knows that - heck even many in Scandinavia
doesn't know that.

And it gets really funny when a 8 to 7 bit conversion strip the
high bit so ö -> v and ø -> x.
