The french accented e (é) is encoded to %C3%A9 (é) in the url bar. It should
really be %E9 (é).



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to any url containing a accented e like
http://forum.quebecmicro.com/postlist.php?Cat=&Board=Matériel


Actual Results:  
The url is encoded to
http://forum.quebecmicro.com/postlist.php?Cat=&Board=Mat%C3%A9riel

Expected Results:  
The url encoding should of been
http://forum.quebecmicro.com/postlist.php?Cat=&Board=Mat%E9riel

The same (reported) wrong encoding appears in the bookmarks path when a french
accented e is used. (see bug #307628)
