that %xx thing is not unicode. it's URL/URI coding.
unicode is 2byte or 4byte wide chars. utf8 is packed unicode, it looks like
binary shit if you look at it.

what do you want to convert to. should be the native codepage of the
filesystem you're using... for example o" iand u" cannot be coded in single
byte, unless you use latin-2 or cp-852... it's and endless story...
i have no idea what to set as 'to' codepage, it depends on filesystem, maybe
locale too.
