title: Encode gives wrong value of Japanese kanji
body: <p>As a part of a scraper, I need to encode <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/kanji#Noun" rel="nofollow">kanji</a> to URLs, but I just can't seem to even get the correct output from a simple sign, and I'm currently blinded by everything I've tried thus far from various Stack Overflow posts.</p>
  
  <p>The document is set to UTF-8.</p>
  
  <pre><code>sampleText=u'ル'
  
  print sampleText
  print sampleText.encode('utf-8')
  print urllib2.quote(sampleText.encode('utf-8'))
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It gives me the values:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ル
  ãƒ«
  %E3%83%AB
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But as far as I understand, it should give me:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ル
  XX
  %83%8B
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What am I doing wrong? Are there some settings I don't have correct? Because as far as I understand it, my output from the <code>encode()</code> should not be <code>ãƒ«</code>.</p>
