 > Thanks for providing the information. Can you provide a link to the
 prototype documentation of that `Ajax.Request` that is specifying the
 encoding of the URL parameter? The link you provided does not say in which
 encoding/format the URL has to be provided. This might just be a bug in
 prototype, not Wordpress.

 Here ist the default option description of Prototype.js Ajax classes:
 http://api.prototypejs.org/ajax/

 Please look at the ''evalJS'' property set as default to ''true'' which
 results into automatic population of ''responseJSON'' instead of
 ''responseText'' if the returned content type is ''application/json''.
 As also noticed, this is strongly related to ''same origin policy'' and
 this will not work at all browsers the same way unsing IDN based URL's
 like the admin_url() do at WordPress for PunyCode URL's.

 Even if this could be a bug at Prototype.js it affects function of
 WordPress plugins/themes using the onboard shipped Prototype.js
 functionality to solve the goals.
