Check the archives - this was discussed before.

It is probably safe to URI encode non-ascii values based on the current
locale. However, if you hit a URI reserved character, like %, it isn't
safe to assume it is needs encoding. (If what follows are not two hex
digits, the % needed encoded, but if what follows *is* two hex digits,
it may still need encoding. Only the person who wrote the URI knows for
sure.)
