Mojibakes and question symbols for non-latin symbols

[sindzicat]

Hello!

Lets say we have the following code:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T2A]{fontenc}
\usepackage[russian]{babel}

\usepackage[colorlinks=true,urlcolor=blue, unicode=true]{hyperref}

\begin{document}
    
    \href{https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Праща}{праща}
    
    \nolinkurl{https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Праща}

\end{document}

After compiling via PDFLatex I see the following:

The end of \nolinkurl output contains mojibakes.

When I hover cursor over blue hyperlink, I see correct text in popup, but when I click this link, uncorrect url https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/????? is opened in browser.

Please help me to fix this for PdfLatex. I tried to goole this problem, but didn't find anything.

You need to percent encode the url in the \href. And with pdflatex you can't use non-ascii chars in \nolinkurl, that is not supported.

this here is not a support forum but a bug tracker. Please ask such question e.g. on tex.stackexchange.

@u-fischer, thanks for answer. I was sure I found a bug and that some workaround may exists.

Is this possible to fix this in the future?
