It's on the could-be list for 1.3.

We need to decide how to present this cleanly in the UI.

I have a plugin which take unicode characters and converts them to a
sequence of octets represented as %HH where HH is the hexadecimal
representation of the octet.  Here's an example consisting of some
random Arabic characters.

/archives/2004/09/04/general/%d8%ac%d8%ad%d8%ae%d8%af%d8%b0/

Characters in the US-ASCII range are not encoded as octets.  They are
left as is.  For example,

/archives/2004/09/04/general/ascii-now-arabic-%d8%ac%d8%ad%d8%ae%d8%af%
d8%b0/

I'll send the plugin to this list soon.  If I can do so cleanly, I'll
integrate it into WP core.  We should handle UTF-8 out-of-the-box.
