Well, that doesn't work here.. Also, according to docs, all $_GET variables are already urldecoded when they're accessed in the script.
Nevertheless, urldecode doesn't give the result I was looking for. I've also tried mb_convert_encoding, html_entity_decode and combinations all over...
And I can't see why there are THREE characters in the URL, the original is only one 'ö'. If I simply do a echo urlencode('ö') it shows %C3%B6.
