Description

WordPress User are reporting, that WordPress does UrlEncode (%[a-z0-9]{2} specific chars in slugs. You find those urlencoded-dramarettes in slugs later on then.

Instead of this very limited encoding/decoding, I suggest using Punycode. Punycode can be used to get any Unicode Input into the slugs and therefore having very nice URLs for everybody!

We do standard IRI-to-URI conversion for slugs. Punycode is for domains, where you can't do octet encoding.

Ryan, can you tell me where I find the code in core this is done? I did some searches but was unable to find out. A hint in the right direction might already help.
