Problem with certain characters with update

[maarten.vl...@gmail.com]

When I do an update and use a character like "é" within the message
the message gets truncated.
For example when I update with "test1 é test2" twitter will only
display "test1 "

The character is converted to %e9 with the php function urlencode.

I could use htmlentities() but that causes errors in snitter and
twitterific.

Has someone got an idea?

This byte is invalid UTF-8 -- you're encoding the character in
Latin-1. Use UTF-8 instead.
