Characters with umlauts in their name #5

Closed mathiasbynens closed 9 years ago

mathiasbynens commented 9 years ago

Some older characters still have umlauts in their name, e.g. Himmelhüpferin. Unfortunately it seems Tibia.com is using ISO-8859-1 instead of UTF-8 even for their URLs.

E.g. https://secure.tibia.com/community/?subtopic=characters&name=Himmelh%FCpferin works, but the correctly UTF-8-encoded https://secure.tibia.com/community/?subtopic=characters&name=Himmelh%C3%BCpferin or https://secure.tibia.com/community/?subtopic=characters&name=Himmelhüpferin don’t.
