title: Internet Explorer does not display Chinese characters from the URL
body: <p>I am working on a requirement to display (make readable) characters from the URL.</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>When I use Google Chrome, it displays the parameters in Chinese - even though they are encoded to UTF-8.</p></li>
  <li><p>When I use Mozilla Firefox, it displays the parameters in Chinese - even though they are encoded to UTF-8.</p></li>
  <li><p>When I use Internet Explorer, it displays the parameters encoded in UTF-8.</p></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>N.B. The URL is encoded to UTF-8; I know that because when I copy the URL from the three of them and paste it to Notepad++ the three of them display the following:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>/%E6%89%93%E5%BC%80%E7%9B%AE%E5%BD%95/%E7%9B%B8%E6%9C%BA/%E6%95%B0%E7%A0%81%E7%9B%B8%E6%9C%BA/%E5%B0%8F%E5%9E%8B%E6%95%B0%E7%A0%81%E7%9B%B8%E6%9C%BA/PowerShot-A480/p/1934793</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Could it be that Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome guys have this improvement that can make an encoded String readable and perhaps the IE guys do not support that? Or, is there any way to activate that with IE?</p>
  
  <p>By the way... Going to View >> Encoding >> Unicode (UTF-8) takes care of the text inside of the page but does not make any difference for the text in the URL.</p>
  
  <p>Any help will be greatly appreciated!</p>
