Hi,

I stumbled across some strange behaviour when working with g_filename_to_uri on Windows.

According to the documentation, http://library.gnome.org/devel/glib/stable/glib-Character-Set-Conversion.html#g-filename-to-uri

filename :
	an absolute filename specified in the GLib file name encoding, which is the on-disk file name bytes on Unix, and UTF-8 on Windows

Now, by looking at the code, I can see that the function doing this stuff is g_filename_to_uri_utf8. g_filename_to_uri first converts filename from the locale to utf8 and then calls g_filename_to_uri_utf8.

If I call g_filename_to_uri with a utf8 encoded filename, this function returns a twice encoded string.

If I have for instance a "ë" in UTF-16, it is transformed into
0xC3 AB ("Ã" + "«") in order to be UTF-8 compliant. If I try to input C:\\ë into 
g_filename_to_uri, I get as a result this: file:///C:/%C3%83%C2%AB
which is basically wrong (it should be file:///C:/%C3%AB).

Can someone explain me this strange behaviour? Is it something expected or am I doing things wrong?

   Thanks,

      Regards,

        Fernando
