Sorry, this is wrong. "quote" is clearly bytes-in and string-out. "unquote" is clearly string-in and bytes-out. The whole point of "quote" is to take an arbitrary sequence of bytes and represent them as an ASCII string, while unquote reverses this process. Again, I urge everyone participating in this discussion to read RFC 3986. We're not creating in a vacuum here; we're talking about implementation of a standard.
