I am trying to convert URLs which include special letters like “ü” to an UTF8 (Perl Notation) URL. But EncodeURLComponent and EncodingToURLMBS are not working like i expected it.
Both encode the ü to %FC which is correct in ISO8859, but i need the ü encoded to %C3%BC (Hexadecimal Notation?).
Am i doing it wrong?
ah when its unicode it should encode the BYTES (C3 BC) not the code point (FC)
seems the RFC 3986 isnt being implemented properly

Should i report it via Feedback? And is there a known workaround? Could not find anything in the Forum/Manuals.
Hm Xojo 2019 r3.1 on macOS 10.14.6
Var url As String = "xojo.com/ü/bla"
Me.AddText "Url: " + url + EndOfLine
Me.AddText EncodeURLComponent(url) + EndOfLine
I get the result
[quote]Url: xojo.com/ü/bla
xojo.com%2F%C3%BC%2Fbla[/quote]
Are you sure that there is no Encoding issue in your code?
I do
EncodingToURLMBS(App.Kunde.LastName, 1)or
EncodeURLComponent(App.Kunde.LastName)( App.Kunde.LastName is a UTF-8 Encoded String )
But i am working on Windows 10 (64bit).
Well, try a hard coded string which is by definition UTF8 to be sure
But you were correct, @Thomas Eckert 
One of my Data Fields was without an Encoding (h021 in Xojo Editor Debugger).
After changing everything to really be in UTF-8, it works like a charm.
Thank you
Glad to help.
