I don't see any non-ASCII characters in that string.  So how come it
causes the error message?

> The file contains a multibyte string "∧"

I don't see this character in the string you show.

Which is a correct UTF-8 encoding of that character, and should
produce a unibyte string.

To summarize, I still don't understand how come the error happened.
Could you perhaps step with Edebug into url-http-create-request, and
see what is going on there?  Or come up with a reproducible recipe of
calling url-http-create-request that I could examine on my machine?

Thanks.
