generally in fa.wiki we use http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/dencoder/ it convert un-unicode text to percentage text and it works but for bots that they need text it doesn't work \(for example for replace.py you can not replace percentage text\) similar case https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3428321&group\_id=93107&atid=603139
I don't believe this is a valid bug for a properly configured (i.e. in windows with a unicode-capable terminal) pywikibot. Unfortunately the original submitter is unknown, and cannot be asked for clarification.
