 This was found when working with this plugin: [Ajax-Enabled Enhanced
 Layered Navigation](https://woocommerce.com/products/ajax-layered-
 navigation/) .

 If there are unicode characters used in a parameter in a get string, then
 it breaks pagination by not allowing access to page 2+.

 1. Set your blog posts to display 1 per page
 2. View blog
 3. Append this to the url in address bar and hit enter:
 `?dddd%D7%99%D7%A6%D7%A8%D7%9F=metabo`
 4. Once page reloads, try to go to page 2
 5. You should receive a too many redirects error
