Yes, exactly, the URLs are saved as numbers and

have them saved as the actual Cyrillic letters?
Not sure if this is useful in your situation, but if you have
a normal browser and you look at a Wikipedia article,
and you want to save the URL, you can press ctrl-L to
select all the text in the URL field and ctrl-C to copy,
switch to some other place and ctrl-V to paste. This
works fine but some URLs with non-ASCII (non-English)
letters might be encoded as %numbers. If instead you
press:
ctrl-L
right-arrow (to deselect and place cursor at the end)
X (or any character)
backspace (to remove that X again)
ctrl-A (to select the entire URL field again)
ctrl-C
then, when you paste this, it will not have the % encoding.
An example is the Russian Wikipedia article
https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9C%D1%91%D0%B4
which then comes out as
https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Мёд
This might not always work, but it works sometimes.
