Can use Chinese characters name in a url name?

Chinese characters are complex and know I need to use big5 or UTF8 but how do Chinese sites get Chinese characters in their url?

If I created a directory like:
%E9%BA%B5%E5%8C%85

Would it be read as 面包 ?

 

You shouldn't use Chinese characters in the URL. Most Chinese websites I've come across dont do this because it's not good practice.

 

I think you can't do that.Never saw this before.

 

I see those characters when I input that into my Firefox address bar.

 

you should

 

You can do it. The characters will just be encoded to the URL entities. Just like space character is encoded to %20, the chinese characters will be encoded to their own entity. But like I said in the previous post, it's not recommended you name your directories as chinese characters. You can have chinese entities in URL if you're trying to pass a GET variable (say for example something like a search).

 

Yes you can do that, but I'd advise you not to. It's not good to put chinese characters in a URL.

 

can!!! here is the example > alwinleo2.blogspot . com/2010/07/%E7%B3%BB%E7%BB%9F%E8%BF%90%E8%A1%8C . html

 

so what is the purpose to use that ugly(E7%B3%BB%E7%BB%9F%E8%BF%90%E8%A1%8C) and hard to remember url??

 

chinese directory submisson gives a good backlink.. tested and proven.

i have directory list and use to submit using chinese character.

no problem with that as long as it does not affect someone.

 

I dont know why everyone is saying not to do it theres no good reason not to
