Decode URL string

As part of URL I have ie:

www.website.com?test=%F8%E5%C6%D8%C5

Requesting the querystring and displaying the content on web I just
get a bunch of squares instead of the special Danish characters that I
expect. But I don't know how to decode them properly. Do you?

Any help or pointer in the right direction is greatly appreciated -
thanks in advance!
Kind regards /Snedker

Using System.Web.Syst emHttpUtility.U rlDecode is what I've tried, but
not with the result of "squares".. .

Did you try to set the default encodings to utf-8 in your web.config?

<configuratio n>
<system.web>
<globalizatio n
requestEncoding ="utf-8"
responseEncodin g="utf-8" />
</system.web>
</configuration>

I use chinese charactors as an example here. "'\\xc4\\xe3\\xba\\xc3\\xc2\\xf0'" My first question is : what strategy does 'decode' use to tell the way to seperate the words. I mean since s1 is an multi-bytes-char string, how did it determine to seperate the string every 2bytes or 1byte? My second question is: is there any one who has tested very long mbcs
