Here is are two google search results:

ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Эпос - 20k

даль.com/%D1%8D%D0%BF%D0%BE%D1%81/ - 6k

Is there a way to get google to show real characters instead of % encoded URLs? All my links are real unicode instead of % encoded, but google is displaying them as % in search results.

I have a feeling it is only affecting IDN urls, as google has to convert from punycode, and then it is too lazy to convert the % encoding part.

Any ideas? Anyone have a way to let google know?
