Does your system support special characters?

Special characters country/language native characters can be used with our system. Neither the long URL or your personal domain is limited to standard alphanumerics. The story about forms of encoding such as UTF strings, ASCII strings and how browsers handle it, is long and technical, but there are just a couple of details that need to be pointed out here.

Special characters in the long URL

This example URL, https://www.google.com/webhp?=1&espv=üniversite contains ü (Latin Small Letter U with diaeresis) and can be shortened without issue through our system. But note that we will automatically display the character in encoded form. So instead of ü after the URL is shortened you will see %C3%BC in its place.

Using IDN domains in your branded URLs.
