URL Rewriting & accents

Hi,

I've got a problem with accentuated characters and apache url rewriting.

This is my rewrited url : http://www.mysite.com/test-actualit%C3%A9

Here is my rewriting rule :

RewriteRule ^test-(.*) /index.php?section=$1

In a php script, I get the $_GET['section'] var ; it is set to "actualitã©".
I can't deal with this content because the "ã©" character is unknown.
I first thought "ã©" was an "é" character in UTF-8 but unfortunately it's
not ("é" = "Ã©" in UTF-8).

How can I get the right accentuated character ?

Thanks in advance,
