Symptoms
NOTE : This issue only arises when Oracle Application Express (APEX) is installed in a Non-UTF8 Database.
Special characters such as Å Ä Ö å ä ö when passed as a URL parameter are not displayed correctly in it's corresponding APEX Item. It seems that is it 'double-escaping' the values.
For example the string
"Höga Å_Ä_Ö_å_ä_ö"
is shown as
"Höga Å_Ä_Ö_å_ä_ö"
Changes
APEX was upgraded to version 4.2.3. However, this can also occur in previous versions.
