    Hi.

    I would like to know if urls that contains keywodrs which includes non-english characters can be useful for SEO?

    Such as :

    www.ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/メインページ


    Can " メインページ " be keyword for google or not ?

    Thanks For answer.

    My database is utf8_general_ci
    It this ok ?
    Or do i have to change it to other utf8 type?

    And in browsers such as Opera, Safari, FireFox my links are quite well, like:

    mydomain/20-в-разделе-розыскивается-есть-подраздел-м.html

    But in Internet Expoler it is so confusing, like:

    mydomain/20-%D0%B2-%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B7%%D0%B0%D0%B7%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BB-%D0%BC.html

    Is this serious problem ? (Because people using IE may also post my links on web by copy-pasting my urls. (which can be good backlink for seo) )

    Should i force people to use Opera, Safari, FireFox ?
