Unfortunately that's exactly what I'm doing :(

For sure it is rubbish because those are two characters while I'm expecting 
only one charcter which is a two-byte value.

Nope. The output is in UTF-8 encoding and that's correct, but the problem is 
that any two-byte values in query string are converted in-to two-two-bytes 
(;-)) values, i.e., each byte being a part of a character is translated into 
some value. So maybe some other ideas, please...
