Its treating the ô character as if it was iso 8859-1 and converting to UTF-8,
however the text is already UTF-8 so in essence its double encoding ( %C3 is
how you say à in UTF-8, where %C383 is how you say à in UTF-8. Similarly %B4 is
how you say ´ in ISO 8859-1, but %C2%B4 is how you say ´ in UTF-8. Thus if the
API module thinks %C3%B4 is in ISO 8859-1, then it will convert it to
%C3%83%C2%B4)

Anyways, not a problem with the MediaWiki API. You need to file a bug with
Wikia.
