UrlEncoding issue for multilanguage data output

[bruno.braga]

I would like to report issues with use of special chars on text
rendering. I could not find in the documentation any specifications
that leads to limitations on this part.

The issue:

When I print special chars (alphabetic with accent, like in portuguese
language), it works fine:
http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?cht=p3&chd=t:60,40&chs=250x100&chl=frente|atr%C3%A1s

When I print asian chars (japanese, for instance), it also works fine:
http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?cht=p3&chd=t:60,40&chs=250x100&chl=日本語|英語

But if you mix them both, the former breaks into not understandable
data:
http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?cht=p3&chd=t:60,40&chs=250x100&chl=日本語|atr%C3%A1s

Is this a bug, or expected behaviour? If so, how to proceed in order
to get it right?

Thanks in advance,

Can anyone from Google give a hand on this? Is there any kind of
encoding that could be interpreted by Google to perform that?
I have tried the common python encodings:

>>> '日本語'
'\xe6\x97\xa5\xe6\x9c\xac\xe8\xaa\x9e'

>>> unicode('日本語', 'utf-8')
u'\u65e5\u672c\u8a9e'

Both fail (considered as string)...
