I checked the page source in chrome or safari, they don't seem to have
iso-8859-1 in the page, instead something like this: 

<input class="gNO89b" value="Google Search" aria-label="Google Search" name="btnK" type="submit" data-ved="0ahUKEwjD_5XP9NntAhWIBGMBHbV0BZUQ4dUDCAw">

Also, if i copy and paste below url directly in safari or chrome, it
would display the page correctly. 

http://www.google.com/search?gbv=1&iflsig=AINFCbYAAAAAX9eJ576dBCkZ_8MT30T-VWnLwzH6yNx4&bih=&biw=&source=hp&hl=no&ie=ISO-8859-1&btnG=Google-s%C3%B8k&q=+%E4%B8%AD%E6%96%87%E7%BD%91

On the other hand, when I just mouse-click from emacs, which calls
browse-url, then safari will display the same garbage there, simlar to
what OP posts. 

I wonder what browse-url is doing in between. 

Is browse-url also used by eww?
