 characters?replies=1]

 i have a problem with the function wp_redirect() when the url contains
 special characters.

 wp_redirect( esc_url_raw( wp_get_attachment_url( $ID ) ) );

 If the attachment url contains, for example, '''À''', then the entire line
 of code leads to a 404 page because the final url won't contain that
 letter.

 In addition:
 esc_url_raw( wp_get_attachment_url( $ID ) )
 is returning the correct url. Without esc_url_raw i get the same result.

 It seems that wp_redirect strips out the character À. Is this normal?
