URI strings MUST consist of only the characters allowed per RFC 3986:
A-Z a-z 0-9 "-" "." "_" "~"
":" "/" "?" "#" "[" "]" "@"
"!" "$" "&" "'" "(" ")" "*" "+" ";" "="
"%"
The string "http://gmuer.ch/aü" contains letters outside those constraints, so
it is not a well-formed URI. Your browser may automatically percent escape
characters outside that set in your character encoding of choice (probably
UTF-8) for your convenience.
