if you need to fix a lot of these automatically from a shell script,
you might consider something like this:
python -c 'import sys, urllib; print urllib.unquote("
".join(sys.argv[1:])).decode("utf-8").encode("iso-8859-1")' \
'%C3%83%C2%A9' \
'%C3%A4%C2%B8%C2%93%C3%A8%C2%BE%C2%91'
é 专辑
it works like "echo", but decodes the %-escaping and one of the levels
of utf-8 encoding.
