You converted twice to UTF-8, so have to go back once. (é is U+00e9 which is 11000011 10101001 in UTF-8, but if you read the latter as Latin-1 and convert once more to UTF-8 you get 11000011 10000011 11000010 10101001, that is, %C3%83%C2%A9 as you reported) -- Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
