Hi,

 

I am using TextEncoder transformer to transform string into URL coded text. String is UTF-8 and have some Balkan letters (?, ž, ?, š) and this is where problems start.

 

For example word Kolašin TextEncoder translates into Kola%C3%85%C2%A1in but right way is Kola%C5%A1in. Is this some bug in TextEncoder or I am doing something wrong?

 

TextEncoder is set to encoding type URL(Percent encoding).

 

Maybe TextEncoder is not what I need at all so any suggest would be appreciated.

I just tested with FME 2019.1, and the result seems correct:

š -> %C5%A1

Testing with FME 2018.1, however, I was able to reproduce the error. So the solution seems to be upgrading FME.

I don't think so, no. Worst case you'll have to contact Safe support and explain the situation, but I would be surprised if that was necessary.
