Umlaut and special characters in AS3 string

I'm having issues using ó in a static string being used in an as3 URL link out.

code: var url:String = "http://www.blahblahblah.pl/show/atomnówki";

output: http://www.blahblahblah.pl/show/atomn%F3wki

I'm sure this is pretty basic but i'm having one of those days.
