Laravel URL route with utf-8 encoding – SEO

I have some page that have urls very similar to Wikipedia:

http://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/Київ

The problem is that when I call laravel route() to get that url

route('myRouteName', 'Київ');

I get something like: 

http://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9A%D0%B8%D1%97%D0%B2

That is the encoded version of that parameters.

Now does Google or any other SE see these two urls as:

http://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9A%D0%B8%D1%97%D0%B2
http://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/Київ

as the same or duplicate?

    Both URL-s will work in modern browsers and Google must be intelligent enough to show better SEO version. With wikipedia it shows http://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/Київ

    These links are the same for Google. Here’s the explanation from Google: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/35653?hl=en

    Below is an example of a URL that uses a non-ASCII character (ü), as
    well as a character that requires entity escaping (&):

    http://www.example.com/ümlat.html&q=name

    Below is that same URL,
    ISO-8859-1 encoded (for hosting on a server that uses that encoding)
    and URL escaped:

    http://www.example.com/%FCmlat.html&q=name
