Comment:

 Hi @smaffulli, welcome to WordPress Trac! Thanks for the report.

 As previously noted in #18945, encoding non-ASCII characters in URLs is a
 part of web standards:

 > Non-ASCII characters must first be encoded according to UTF-8 [STD63],
 and then each octet of the corresponding UTF-8 sequence must be percent-
 encoded to be represented as URI characters.

 http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#page-21 [[BR]]
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percent-encoding#Current_standard

 It's the same for Cyrillic characters, for example. I don't see a bug
 here.

 That said, most browsers decode the URLs to display them in a human-
 readable form.
