Description

When a username contains a UTF8 character (ø for example) and the &user='USERNAME' URL parameter is used it results in urlencoding of the character and reaching the profile impossible. Typically is fine without SEF, but when SEF is used then username is passed instead of user_id resulting in failed navigation to profile.

Example
Username = testø
URL (Before): index.php?option=com_comprofiler&user='testø'
URL (After): index.php?option=com_comprofiler&user=%27test%F8%27
Result: "This profile does not exist or is no longer available"
