Strange Characters in MO Url from sms service

[Jeff Thorn]

Hello All,
I am seeing some odd characters in the HTTP call we are getting form smsbox
for MOs. I expect the text from the phone to be:

"RE: Testing reply ---testing iden"

Here is the URL we are getting:

/mo.php?id=b0be9dd5-2087-490c-8cb2-a34e15dd8b9f&sc=&phone=XX&text=RE%3A
%C3%B6Testing+reply+--+Testing+iden&dt=2013-03-26+15:27:55&unixts=1364311675&coding=0&charset=UTF-8
HTTP/1.1" 200 165 "-" "Kannel/svn-r4910M"

%3A is clearly the colon. Does anyone know what %C3%B6 are? In both ASCII
and UTF-8, these are random characters that don't make any sense (o with
diaeresis if utf8, A with tilde and paragraph sign in ascii). The charset
field is listed as utf8, which would mean this character is ö. But I am
quite sure the user did not enter this character on the phone. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Jeff
