     Type:  defect (bug)  |      Status:  new            
 Priority:  normal        |   Milestone:  Awaiting Review
Component:  Canonical     |     Version:  3.0.1          
 Severity:  minor         |    Keywords:  rtl

 This is an interesting bug I found via webmaster tools

 Example URL

 http://andybeard.eu/2210/google-
 stopbadware.html%20-%20%D8%A8%D8%B1%DB%8C%D8%AA%D8%A7%D9%86%DB%8C

 The URL has some arabic characters added to it I assume by mistake, but is
 constructed to theoretically handle quite a lot of errors with URL
 formation by using the post ID at the start.

 This results in a 404 error so can't even be handled by canonicalization
 tags.
