Kasimir - That helps. I think I understand how to write my htaccess file.
However, I still can't figure out how to do the character translation.
Where do I look for the right translation code table? Sorry if I'm being
thick about this, but I've looked up Unicode and a half-dozen other tables
and I can't figure out what I'm missing. In other words... in what table
does %2528 translate to a "(", etc.?

You need to write an Apache redirect for all odd characters. The
problem with this is that you need to have a finite amount of
characters that are in use, or you need to list all "odd" characters.
In my wiki I had pages with parenthesis, so I used the following:
**********
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/wiki/(index\.php.*) /w/$1 [R]
RewriteRule (.*)%2528(.*)%2529(.*) $1($2)$3 [R]
**********
I hope that this helps,
