Comment(by hakre):

 #10252 now got commited, which leaves this ticket now open.

 the function esc_url() should follow the standards of URL escaping for
 ??!!. I do not know, what is the intended output of the function? Plain
 text UTF-8 encoded? Or is it to be used inside a html attribute like the
 value of href or src?

 What are the ground laying RFC standardarisations we can refer to here?
