URLEncoder.encode() doesn't support non-ASCII Unicode characters. The
expected behavior is to convert Unicode characters to external encoding
(default), then to URL encode.

The following test program outputs (inclusing EUCJIS characters):

     ã³“›©ý
     ã³“›©ý
     %e5%2c%9e
     %e5%2c%9e

but expected:

     %c6%fc%cb%dc%b8%ec

for the two bottom lines.

import java.net.*;
public class URLEncoder_test {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      System.out.println("㳓›©ý") ;
      System.out.println("\u65e5\u672c\u8a9e") ;
      System.out.println(URLEncoder.encode("㳓›©ý")) ;
      System.out.println(URLEncoder.encode("\u65e5\u672c\u8a9e")) ;
   }
}
