Test case

Here is an example that illustrates this problem. The page is in Big5, and
script generates a URL that is not encodable in Big5.

Firefox, IE, and Safari all generate a query in the encoding of the page when
possible. (In this case, you will see gibberish in the Google result page since
Google expects UTF-8.)

When the character is not representable, Firefox falls back on UTF-8, which
amusingly gives the "correct" answer for Google. IE and Safari both substitute
a literal question mark for the invalid character.

The only right thing to do in this case would be to use the same logic as the
form code does when you paste the character into a form field on such a page
and submit it.
