When I upgraded to MW1.8.2. from MW1.5., all wiki links containing non-ascii characters became red. Navigation links in the left bar show up blue, but when I click them, I'm directed to a search MW-page.
E.g. the single character "å" is represented as "%C3%A5"
Can this character set issue be fixed in the data, Mysql, or by changing the settings in MW?

Check your database encoding, check that your database isn't corrupt, check that your configuration matches your database.
If you're using the MySQL 5 experiemental UTF-8 schema, ensure that $wgDBmysql was and remains set to 'true'.
If you're not, ensure that it was and remains set to 'false'.
E.g. the single character "å" is represented as "%C3%A5"
In URLs? That looks 100% correct and normal.

The Character set URL problem was fixed by just switching $wgDBmysql to "true"
PS Thanks Brion for super easy solution to seemingly complex problem :-)
