htmlentities

Hi all,

I have a bugging problem. For a website I made there are search engine friendly URL's generated. The only problem is there are ß-chars in the url too. Chars like ö, ï, ä, ü etc. are placed correct. But with the ß-char there is a diamond-icon with a questionmark in it. -> ?

I thought it had to do with the charset which is used but i've tried both UTF-8 and iso-8859-1. Both without luck.

I need to have the correct character in the url for the readability of deeplinks.

Hope to hear from you!
