I've got category descrpitions in a database that uses the "non-us" characters. Since I'm using XHTML, I've converted all these characters into their proper entity number (&uuml😉.

My problem is that Flash wants these to be url encoded...

Bascially, it needs to convert my ü into %FC. When I try to use PHP's urlencode() function it returns %26uuml; since it encodes only the & symbol.

Other than doing my own search and replace, is there a better way around this issue?
