I have a Joomla module with form:

<form id="ContactForm"  action="<?php echo JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_k2&view=search&layout=search&Itemid=1303');?>" method="post">
<table>
<tr>
<td>
Vyhledat: <input type="text" name="searchKey" value="" style="width: 400px;"/>
</td>
<td>
<input type="submit" value="Vyhledat" /><br />

</td>
</tr>
</table>

</form>

And I use POST method to get the data to the destination.
I “catch” them with:

 $foo = JRequest::getString('searchKey');

When I search for words without diacritics (adam, andy, anything) it works perfect. However it is a Czech site and it uses diacritics so when I try to search for Jiří, the letters ř and í are stripped away and it is using only JI.

My question is: Why does it do that and how to fix that?
