 So I am pretty tired of manually fixing this myself in the code every
 update so here is me contrubting finally to the community. :) I was going
 to make a pull request but you guys don't use github?!? No worries.

 How to reproduce this:

 1. Create a post with the title "Test ¢". FYI on Mac it is option + 4 to
 create that symbol.
 2. Go to the post permalink.

 Expected behavior: The page loads just fine.
 Actual behavior: 404 because the browser can't interpret ¢ in the URL.

 Code fix suggestion:

 "¢" => ""

 Just add it here: https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/master/wp-
 includes/formatting.php#L1616

 Looking forward to the next release. :)
