My username displays as C%C3%A5m when inspecting the element where my username is part of a link. However, the problem occurs when a computer tries to put that back together. %C3 is a Ã, whilst %A5 is a ¥. So when it gets put back together it becomes CÃ¥m. The same is true for both those pages.

I doubt this is in any way fixable, but hopefully it explains why it is behaving this way. The only fix I can think of is to redefine what each 'special' character is stored as, but as these are common values used throughout the internet it's really not going to happen.
