UTF8 in links

[matkoniecz]

Sorry if that is my misunderstanding again but as I understand it the UTF8 is de facto working in links

UTF8 may be internally different but browsers seems 100% fine with links including letters like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ogonek

Sanity check: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22357509/can-urls-have-utf-8-characters

Even DNS supports URF8 characters (with some workarounds and restrictions) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internationalized_domain_name

sorry if I misunderstood something again and it works only by accident (but both local files and deployed website works fine with such links that are reported as broken here!)

Can you report this to broken-link-checker?
The crawling itself is done over there...

Sorry for not checking upstream first.
