Implement Cyrillic route paths

[ignatevdev]

Hello. I'm building an application using the latest react-router. We want to implement the route paths containing Cyrillic symbols in it, like
<Route path="/пример" component={Example} />
However, this doesn't seem to be working by default, therefore I would like to ask, is it possible to create such routes or can the support of Cyrillic routes be included into the next release?

We don't currently automatically encode URI segments in paths for pattern matching. There are some complexities in doing so. Take a look at e.g. pillarjs/path-to-regexp#42 and pillarjs/router#15 for the concerns from the Express team.

I don't think we can really handle this satisfactorily on our end right now. Can you just encode the relevant URI segments yourself?

@taion Thanks a lot!
For anyone who runs into the same issue, the solution is to simply encode your UTF-8 string before passing it into the route.
In my case, an example for this would look like
<Route path={encodeURIComponent('пример')} component={Example} />
And with using route params you should write it like this
<Route path={encodeURIComponent('пример') + '/:id'} component={Example} />

The issue is solved.
