Thank you William!

I don't how to set default windows code page to UTF-8, there's no UTF-8 in 
ControlPanel--Locale/Language--Advanced, I try change code page to 65001(UTF-8) 
in DOS prompt window, and run httpd.exe in DOS prompt window, but I got same 
result.

cd Apache\bin
chcp 65001
httpd

There's a similar article/question on stackoverflow.com, 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2764446/problem-using-unicode-in-urls-with-
cgi-path-info-in-coldfusion

Although he use ColdFusion on IIS, but he encountered exactly same problem. And 
one answer figured out the cause, but I'm not sure if it's right.

part of that answer:
---------
...
However most byte-based tools using the C stdio (and I'm assuming this applies 
to ColdFusion, as it does under Perl, Python 2, PHP etc.) then try to read the 
environment variables as bytes, and the MS C runtime encodes the Unicode 
contents again using the Windows default code page. So any characters that 
don't fit in the default code page are lost for good. This would include your 
Arabic characters when running on a Western Windows install.
...
