I know that there are actually no umlauts in URLs.

Nevertheless, there are some on some pages. Is there a solution for this?

Example 1: http://de.investing.com/news/aktienmarkt-nachrichten/wöchentlicher-comic:-trump-treibt-die-bullen-in-eine-phänomenale-rally-433109

Example 2: https://www.godmode-trader.de/video/us-aktien-im-fokus-alibaba-amd-micron,5156864

Best regards

Hi QMAXX,

Regarding the this matter, may i know how you actually share the link that contain the umlaut character? Are you share using the story update form?

I tried replicate the issue by sharing the url that has a umlaut character using story update form, but the moment i copy the link from my web browser location bar, the umlaut character converted into html entities characters. This is actually the correct behaviour as only web browser know how to process umlaut characters in the url. Please see http://screen.stackideas.com/Susan_Ooh_-_Dashboard_2017-02-20_12-25-21.png

Please advise.
