How to UTF-8 Encode an URI?

[quote author="Cro_Crx" date="1247428415"]I'm not sure if you can have those special characters in a URL and read them correctly, i could be wrong though.

It's not going to be as clean, although you could use urlencode. Although then you would have %something instead of the č character in your URI.

I'm assuming you've set character encoding in your HTML/server headers?[/quote]

well, i'm not sure about that

since everything else regarding those characters renders well (both static and dynamic content), i think headers are OK

i have this

Code:

header("Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8");

in my view file, and also every file is saved with utf8 encoding (including controller and model) without BOM signature

but, if you think headers should be set/sent in a different way, please post your suggestion, as this seems to be a huge
problem for me.

thanks
