error when uploading string with special characters

Question

Answer 1

Please ensure, that the page that uploads the string and the one that displays the string have the same text encoding, e.g. this one:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"/>

In general, each page of your WebApp should have only and only one text encoding set.

Answer 2

have you tried a simple urlencode()?
