Unicode in url patterns

[giolekva]

Hi, how can I use unicode in my urls?

For example in blogs app if I want slug field to be unicode, it gets
strange value like %E1%83%90%E1%83%A1%E1%83%93 which stands for ასდ
(it's Georgian).

Thanks.

We have not worked on unicode in URLs. If you end up working on it and find issues/bugs, please let us know or submit a patch. As far as I know, you are the only person who has brought up this feature, so I am sure there will be issues.
