I have a question about encoding/decoding strings.

Well, there is web page, where I send some data with simple php POST form.
When I open Chrome Developer Toolbar -> Network, in “Form Data” all parameters are displayed normally, except this, “uid”, which is encoded ( %25%DC%BE%60%A0W%94M ) somehow.

enter image description here

When I clicked on “view URL encoded”, it showed me this “%2525%25DC%25BE%2560%25A0W%2594M“, I tried online tools such http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/dencoder/ to get human readable string of this encoded parameter, but no luck.

Can anyone explain to me, how can I get the original value of this parameter? Not encoded, in human readable format?

Thanks a lot : )

    If you’re having problems with online decoders, and (seeing as its a relatively short string) why not give it a go by hand?

    http://www.degraeve.com/reference/urlencoding.php

    This table maps characters to their URL-encoded equivalent, just do a Ctrl+F of the % encoded characters and decode it yourself.

    A few of the characters look wierd because they aren’t English characters. %DC is Ü for example. its possible the encoders you are trying don’t recognise non-english characters
