@TheAliAbbasi your issue is missing the "Steps to reproduce" section, please provide an example on your issue.

[TheAliAbbasi]

Reproduce steps:
Make a reoute like following
php Route::get('{segment}', function(){ dd(\Request::segment(1)); });

Then call it with utf-8 characters such as سلام
You'll the urlencoded version of the word

@TheAliAbbasi Do you have php_intl extension enabled? You may also need to install ICU library as well,

[TheAliAbbasi]

@srmklive nope, but I installed it and no differences. I can php urldecode() the segment on my own, and other functions such as input() or only() functions or in router binder. it's just this function is excluded

[jarnovanleeuwen]

Symfony's getPathInfo() deliberately returns a urlencoded path. Laravel provides access to a urldecoded path through Request::decodedPath(), but not to segments. I think you could easily write a wrapper for the segment function that returns urldecoded segments.

could you fix that in 5.2 as well?!

5.2 is closed :)
