When using URLs with special characters like German umlauts in posts the resulting HTML link is wrong. There are two different cases whether you put an URL in markdown syntax like [text](URL) or a plain URL in a post. In the former case the characters before the last special character are treated as a one link and the remaining characters as another one. Both are wrong. In the latter case only the characters starting from the last special characters are interpreted as a link, which of course is wrong.
An example link could be the following: http://bündnis-für-krankenhäuser.de/
