Character encoding in Share search?

When searching in Share, international characters, for instance some characters in the Swedish alphabet, are not encoded right. It looks like unicode encoded characters are interpreted as ISO 8859.

This is not only a visual representation problem, but also means that searches cannot be performed correctly, since Alfresco looks for the wrong characters.

What could be done to fix this?

Edit: I might add that this problem only appears in Share, in the Explorer client all characters are encoded correctly.

I sorted this one out. I'm using Apache as a proxy and the problem turned out to be that the AJP connector in Tomcat isn't configured to use UTF-8 for URI-encoding by default.
