You probably mean the %HH convention used in URIs?
Converting from UTF-8 to %HH is rather easy; I can write
that code in Perl if you can use it (I should write it
anyway as an example).
Converting from %HH to UTF-8 is not as easy, unless you
know that the %HHs you are dealing with indeed came from
a decent string (e.g. no controls,...) decently encoded
in UTF-8.
