[wp-hackers] Post slug bug

[Dougal Campbell]

Do we have an easy way to know which non-ASCII characters are
non-alphanumeric when we start talking about UTF characters from
non-English languages? How do we distinguish "word" characters from
punctuation when we start dealing with Russian, Chinese, Hebrew, etc? If
there isn't a reliable function for that already (I'm not sure, myself,
I'll leave a definitive answer up to someone with more i18n experience),
then the url-encoding mentioned here is still the best way to handle it,
I think.
