How do I read a unicode url with PHP?

Question

I have a unicode url: \test.php?sText=Московский

I would like to use the $_Get function to work with the value of sText. The code I have for test.php is:

<?php
$sVar = $_GET['sText'];

echo "Variable = $sVar";
?>

Problem is that the above is coming bach as: Variable = ??????????

What do I need to do?

This works fine for me:

$sVar = $_GET['sText'];

echo urldecode($sVar);
