According to the standards (RFC1738), URLs can only contain ASCII characters. Non-ASCII characters must be encoded. This is a rare case of IE being more standards compliant than other browsers.

I believe you'll find if you use something like HTTP Watch that the other browsers are encoding them to send to the server anyway, just displaying the Unicode characters in the address bar...
