What you get is an URI encoding of the UTF-8 bytes. I think this is the expected and correct behavior: there are multiple incompatible locale encodings and there's no way for this function to know what encoding you want to use for the URI. It would also fail if you had characters not representable in the locale encoding. This is at most a documentation bug. It should be stated that this function converts the string byte-by-byte, and everything outside of the 0-127 range is converted to hex escapes. (I think this is the only sensible behavior for this function.)
