So my question is, why do you need the display to be garbled instead of easily readable? Do you really want to try to parse <https://ko.wikipedia.org/wiki/%ED%99%A9%EC%A0%95%EC%9D%8C> manually instead of letting the program do it?

Depends what you want to do with it. If you need to insert that text somewhere which expects a proper URL, you need the percent encoding.

Depends on your definition of "proper URL." Most modern programs (including SeaMonkey) can handle non-ASCII URLs just fine, but most older ones require percent encoding. I still make a habit of enclosing URLs in angle brackets because there's a large installed base of older programs that will misinterpret spaces (and a few other things) as "end of URL." Percent encoding prevents that, of course.

One day, none of this will matter because all software everywhere will use the full Unicode character set and human-readable IRIs will be the norm. For now, workarounds abound. ;-\
