I treid such situation on my environment, like the following:

$ script
$ screen -c foo

-- foo
caption always "テスト"
--

Then I checked the real screen output.

The string "テスト" is the following byte sequences:

e3 83 86 e3 82 b9 e3 83 88

And the follwoing is the output of screen command:

c3 a3 c2 83 c2 86 c3 a3 c2 82 c2 b9 c3 a3 c2 83 c2 88

I don't know why such conversion was occured.
