Description
When visiting a YouTube channel via its handle URL (http s://www.youtube.com/@{handle}) and that handle contains multibyte characters (e.g. Japanese, Chinese), the overview data returned belongs to an unrelated channel. Visiting the same channel using the /channel/{userId} URL works correctly.

@YouG-o commented on GitHub (Aug 6, 2025):
Hi,
This bug occurs because YouTube percent-encodes multibyte handlesin the URL, but the extension was not decoding them before searching for channel data.

My bad, I did not anticipated this, sorry about that.
