Hi,

Having the same issue with trademark character ™ (alt+0153) which does exist in cp1252 encoding but does not in iso-8859-1. Actually, when submitting an iso-8859-1 form with GET method, trademark character is urlencoded as %99 that does not exist in this encoding. Even if I understand historical and compatibility reasons to display ™ for a ™ entity, I do not see why this character isn't sent as it should be -> ™

It's been almost 4 years since this bug was confirmed, hope this comment will contribute to solve this issue.
