Parth,
   I think you will find that IIS doesn't log the
unicode values, as they are translated into plain
ascii  before being processed (and then logged) 

The IIS logfile for the  /..%c0%af../ original unicode
is logged as /../../

I think the same would go for cmd.exe in the log file.
 Checking for unicode variants would only work if you
were performing on the wire monitoring.  (Which is
ineffective on an SSL site anyway...
