BUG MIGRATED FROM SOURCEFORGE

Sequences like   or unicode characters like
舵  leave the URL not recognized properly.
That is if I type [[അ]] it appears as text, with
the [[ and ]], and not as a URL.

Are you working on a wiki that uses Unicode or only Latin-1?
 I've made several successful links with character entities
(& sequences) in them, but only with Latin-1 characters on
[[en:]], a Latin-1 wiki.

Foreign symbols should search on the nearest similar, eg.

"Métrique Système International"
"Metrique Systeme International"

should be, both findable (redirections to SI in this case), 
rather than the long list of selectable sort-of's.
Comment 1 Toby Bartels 2005-01-24 08:30:28 UTC
I believe that this was fixed some time ago; in any case, the links [[ ]]
and [[അ]] seem to work just fine on the English Wikipedia now.
