 * I own a WordPress site in Persian language. I have noticed that certain requests
   to some of my posts get a 404 error, seemingly because the URL does not get correctly
   encoded in their browsers. For example, if the url of the post is
 * `http://mywebsite.com/مثال`
 * when a visitor wants to visit that post, for a strange reason, they a 404 page
   as the url is encoded as
 * `http://mywebsite.com/D985D8ABD8A7D984`
 * which does not have the % mark in it. In other words, the correctly encoded url
   should include the following after the domain name:
 * %D9%85%D8%AB%D8%A7%D9%84
 * Please let me know if the problem is on my side or the visitors’ behalf.
 * Many thanks
    Regards
