It occurred to me after posting that 'v' should not be converted to %F6, but
rather to %EF%BF%BD.

RFC 1738 has been superseded by RFC 2396, which in turn has been superseded
by RFC 3986. The %HH escape sequence should represent the octets of the
UTF-8 encoding of the character, not (for example) the ISO 8859-1 encoding
of the character.
