How to decode encoded URL in google chrome?

Google chrome automatically converts unicode strings in URL to something like this;

?querystring=مقالات
?querystring=%D9%85%D9%82%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A7%D8%AA

My question is how to decode the encoded text in the codes for example for a comparing purpose?

if (Request.Url.Query == "?querystring=مقالات")
    //do something

URL encoding ensures that all browsers will correctly transmit text in URL strings.

Characters such as a question mark (?), ampersand (&), slash mark (/), and spaces might be truncated or corrupted by some browsers. As a result, these characters must be encoded in tags or in query strings where the strings can be re-sent by a browser in a request string.

UrlDecode is a convenient way to access the HttpUtility.UrlDecode method at run time from an ASP.NET application. Internally, UrlDecode uses HttpUtility.UrlDecode to decode strings.

The following example decodes the string named EncodedString (received in a URL) into the string named DecodedString :

String DecodedString = Server.UrlDecode(EncodedString);
