We had the same problem a while ago. We found a solution, but I don't know if it's the right one, or if it's the best one. Actually, the string gets encoded (at least for us) byte par byte (ie. you have %xx%yy%zz for one chinese/japanese char). This doesn't come out well in java string (you will have a 3 chars string)
So what we did was pass this String thru the following function: byte[] temp=getBytes(URLString,"ISO8859-1"); // or another encoding which is 1byte/char translated=new String(temp,"your-encoding-here"); // translated will be encoded right For tests, we only used IE5 english version, so I don't know if other browsers encode this differently. But this function worked for us...
