How do you change a title to be part of the URL like Stack

Answer 1

The stackoverflow solution is great, but modern browser (excluding IE, as usual) now handle nicely utf8 encoding:

So I upgraded the proposed solution:

public static string ToFriendlyUrl(string title, bool useUTF8Encoding = false)
{
    ...

        else if (c >= 128)
        {
            int prevlen = sb.Length;
            if (useUTF8Encoding )
            {
                sb.Append(HttpUtility.UrlEncode(c.ToString(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture),Encoding.UTF8));
            }
            else
            {
                sb.Append(RemapInternationalCharToAscii(c));
            }
    ...
}

Edit: Here's the code for RemapInternationalCharToAscii method (that's missing in the pastebin).
