You need to encode these characters with the percent-encoding. Try this:

Here %C3%A9 represents the é in UTF-8 encoded. Maybe you need to change the character encoding if your application expects a different character encoding than UTF-8.

thanks for this `percent-encoding` remainder, I got confused with all these different encodings :)
