foreign letters in getURL

[Arik_z3]

Hi!
I'm trying to link to an adress with the letter Ø with getURL function in AS2, but I get %F8 for that letter in my browser, and it can't access the webpage.
How shall I write 'thelink' containing that letter?

getURL(thelink,"_blank")

thanks

It should be %D8. %F8 is ø (small one).

Hi,

Does this help at all?

on (release) {
    SearchTerm = "http://www.googleØ.co.uk"
    NewTerm = SearchTerm.split("Ø").join("%D8");
    getURL(NewTerm, "_blank");
} 

look into UTF-8
