Hi Vaska, as the w3c links Anders provided, it can. However I will be very skeptical to using it as obviously browsers are not advance enough to handle it, but then it maybe the server issue too. Sorry, I am too ignorant on this matter to tell you anything more.
I did a test on Safari, FF, IE and Opera by entering domain in Chinese, only FF picks up the address. Wonder how it works on PC browsers. You may like to try: Simplified Chinese sites: A Chinese famous seach engine <baidu.com> = 百度 Or this <163.com> = 易网 Ebay China <ebay.com.cn> = 易趣 Traditional sites: <tw.yahoo.com> = 奇摩 <yam.com> = 蕃薯藤 These are domains but the one Anders provided does have a path in Japanese character, and it works in FF. http://www.w3.org/International/tests/sec-iri-3 tee > From: Vaska.WSG <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Reply-To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org > Date: Mon, 6 Jun 2005 21:32:08 +0200 > To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org > Subject: Re: [WSG] problem with utf-8 page encoding > > tee, or really any Chinese person on this list, > > one thing that I've been cuious about is how do you deal with creating > urls. this could sound extremely naive and i'm sorry for that. it's > my understanding that use of latin1 characters only is allowed to make > a url...or create folders etc... > > http://www.this-is-latin1-text.com/and-this-is-a-folder/and-this-is-a- > filename.php > > this wouldn't be possible... > > http://www.定会利用此次选秀.com/定会利用此次选秀/定会利用此次选秀.php > > i've been having to find a way to deal with this issue and so far i've > only come up with workarounds that just don't seem very user-friendly. > > i was looking at conversion maps but it became a completely crazy > exercise... > > v ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
