Django provides some utility functions for creating valid URL's from
UTF-8 strings. Have a look at the iri_to_uri() function, documented
here:

http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/unicode/#uri-and-iri-handling

(Yes, that is a little bit hidden. Linking things in from all the useful
places is a continual process.)

Use user_id instead of username? Encode username with base64? URLs can
contain UTF8 characters if properly encoded, so i dont think this is a
problem.

Non html safe chars on urls,

[Mirat Bayrak]

Hi i have an account system that you have to validate your email after you
created an account. My validation url is lik : www.foo.com/account/confirm/*
username/keyyy*

But there is a problem, sometimes username contains non html safe chars for
example : *â*lice, or s*ü*leyman cant go that adress...

So, what should i do? should i restrict usuable characters on usernames or
is there another solution?
