Bug 34870: Perform UTF8 encoding before redirection
Display special characters correctly when writing off an invoice.
The issue arises because pay.pl does not perform UTF-8 encoding on the “notes” parameter before redirecting the page. By using uri_escape_utf8, characters with a code above 255 are also UTF-8 encoded. Then, paycollect.pl can collect the information without any trouble.
This patch work with “;” and “:” characters.
