 * Hello, I am not sure this is the right section of the forums I need to create
   my topic in, but oh well.
 * I am not completely sure if it is a problem, but for me, it is so I would like
   to know if there is a solution to the ‘problem’.
 * My website is in Bulgarian so I made sure to translate everything including the
   links.
    **Example:** `https://example.com/това-е-на-български/това-също` This
   is making the links appear as gibberish when pasting them somewhere or getting
   them from somewhere else. For example, when I am crawling the site with Ahrefs,
   Ahrefs is viewing my links as nonsense and showing them to me as such.

 * My question is, is this a language problem and can I fix it, or this is just 
   the way it is and there is no way anyone can do anything about it?
 * Thank you in advance for your time,
    Regards!

 * Your Cyrillic text is getting HTML escaped to ensure the link is correctly interpreted
   anywhere you might paste. Pasting unescaped Cyrillic or other non-Latin link 
   text will possibly cause the link to fail. Despite appearing as gibberish, when
   the link is followed, browsers will display the correct Bulgarian in its address
   bar.
 * Depending on context, it might be possible to decode the gibberish and regain
   the Bulgarian, but then you risk the link not working correctly when pasted elsewhere.
