Message too long :( I try to answer a little part of it and hope I
can give you some idea.
AFAIK, Linux filesystem is in Unicode. But here you're dealing with
web, and that would depend on how the browser and the server (if there's
any) implement Unicode.

If you're using %e1 to represent "á", you're using Latin-1. "á" in
Unicode (UCS-2) is indeed U+00E1, but in UTF-8, it is \xC3 \xA1, that I
suppose in escape form it is simply %C3%A1.

This behaviour of Konqueror seems correct because in UTF-8, it's
expected to have something after \xE1.
