To correct myself, here's a conversion to unicode. Any UNIX machines default to UTF-8 handling of unicode, that's the format you'll get with this iRule. Note that Windows handles unicode as UTF-16, and you may need to adjust it.

when HTTP_REQUEST {
  binary scan [HTTP::uri] H* myvar 
  log local0. "TEST: Original URI [HTTP::uri] | UTF-8 unicode $myvar"
}

It results the same in this text to UTF-8 converter tool: http://macchiato.com/unicode/convert.html
