Bug Description
Hi,
I'm using Zim 0.65 on Python 2.7 for OS X 10.11.4.
I'm not *entirely* sure I managed to install it properly as the install instructions on the Zim website are out of date and did not work. Therefore every time I want to launch Zim it launches a Python Launcher, Python (proper), and the Terminal. Is that right?
I managed to install dependencies with Homebrew OK though. On a side note, your install page could definitely do with a re-write for people who are less savvy.
THE MAIN ISSUE:
Using special characters (any kind) in a link breaks the link. Not only that, it will either duplicate a page (if a special character is in the title) or delete it. I have learned that the hard way - two day's worth of work vanished because my page had a 'ā' in the title. Even using brackets () in links seems to break them.
It's just really frustrating and inconvenient. Can Zim please patch a fix? Or is it me?
Cheers.

Sorry to ask, but can you give a more concrete example of the issue? E.g.
what steps do I need to do to reproduce the issue?
Regards,
Jaap
