If, you want to accept non-standard character like above on $_GET or $_POST variable, make sure you save your controller file with UTF-8 instead ANSI Encoding.

What do you mean save controller file with UTF-8?
Btw, I just found this link:

Before you implementing any Multibyte String function on that article, you must ensure that your controller file (or any related file) is saved with "UTF-8" instead "ANSI" encoding. If you are using Notepad as your editor, look at 'Encoding' option (its default to ANSI) at the bottom of save dialog, if you are using Vim :wq ++enc=utf-8
