Hehe, I recognize this test.
Well, I don't think it makes any sense in Russian, in the first place. 
This is a latin1 test. The "expected value" differs with the locale encoding, obviously.
(And especially prettyURL isn't meant to give the same result in all encodings,
on the contrary).

Can you look into the [file-]static "encode" method of KURL ?
Since you're not using drag-n-drop, encoding_hint should always be 0... so this
uses local8Bit() to convert to QCString, and from there the chars are simply encoded
by value. So if you get %3F, it means that either the conversion ruins the string, or
it's whatever is passed to encode() that is already wrong.....
