| Jan 22, 2020 at 16:36 | comment | added | Lance Pollard | Got it, well my Google Chrome on mac shows the nice native script, are you on windows? Here is a korean site namu.wiki/w/… and m.sleepmania.net/product/… | |
| Jan 22, 2020 at 16:33 | comment | added | ADOConnection | @LancePollard I (and 69% of Internet) use Google Chrome, which will escape URL and make it look like %AA%BB%CC. This only means 69% of your users will see ugly links, no more no less :) Situation may change in future, but at this point it works that way, so you have to keep it in mind to make right desicion | |

| Jan 22, 2020 at 16:28 | comment | added | Lance Pollard | This Thai website uses it in the URL shopee.co.th/… | |

Baidu puts them in the URL: http://www.baidu.com/s?rsv_idx=1&wd=%E9%98%BF%E5%9D%9D%E5%B7%9E4.5%E7%BA%A7%E5%9C%B0%E9%9C%87&usm=1&ie=utf-8&rsv_cq=food%E6%98%AF%E4%BB%80%E4%B9%88%E6%84%8F%E6%80%9D%E4%B8%AD%E6%96%87&rsv_dl=0_right_fyb_pchot_20811_01&rsf=390f0462fd5ad42382be9e734b8d6541_1_15_1&rqid=b86dc60d000ce7bc baidu.com/…

| Jan 22, 2020 at 16:21 | comment | added | Lance Pollard | I don't understand this argument about "invalid" URL characters. Wikipedia uses the native scripts EVERYWHERE, and it looks nice to me. IE th.wikipedia.org/wiki/… | |

| Jan 22, 2020 at 14:53 | comment | added | Big_Chair | I agree. Our company sells products all across the world and all links are simply held in English. Except for the German page, which has German localized links, as that is the birthplace of the company and users expect it to be German and not international. But that is not an issue as nearly all German characters are present in English as well. OP's case would include a lot more invalid characters, which I think would only lead to confusion across different users as well. | |
