CodeIgniter URL_TITLE UTF8 Characters?

I have problem with codeigniter something like this i have string this like

$string="Mučnina – problem u vožnji!";

When i do something like this 

$url_title = url_title($string, '_', TRUE);

I got this

$string="munina_problem_u_vonji";

Big difference?

This is what i done :

1. go to application/config/foreign_chars.php

2. added 

'/š/' => 's', 
'/đ/' => 'd', 
'/č/' => 'c', 
'/ć/' => 'c', 
'/ž/' => 'z', 
'/Š/' => 'S', 
'/Đ/' => 'D', 
'/Č/' => 'C', 
'/Ć/' => 'C', 
'/Ž/' => 'Z',

3. Just call 

$clean=convert_accented_characters($string);
 $url_title = url_title($clean, '_', TRUE);

The built-in url title function won't work in itself for you since it's just replaces everyting matches [^a-z0-9 _-] with empty string.

Try running convert_accented_characters() first on your input, that function takes it's replacements from the config/foreign_chars.php file, so something like this:

url_title(convert_accented_characters($string), '_', TRUE);
