They came from TAG fields (song name) in a MP3 file.

Btw, after some more debugging, it seems my immediate issue is not
really about GTK+ ;-)  I was using UPnP-based gmediaserver to browse
the MP3 files, and somehow gmediaserver/UPnP converts the GB2312
encoded song names into a new string, even before it reached to GTK+.
I need to look into gmediaserver/UPnP.

Thanks a lot for everyone's response and detailed info.
