That's only true for platforms that only caters to the English speaking world. The fediverse should be and is much broader than that.
What? There is no major OS that does not support Unicode out of the box.
Percent encoding is perfectly fine and users won't even see it.
Also please stop down voting twice with your alt accounts, that's not cool.
Punycode would work here better I think as it’s plain ASCI with no special characters except a dash if I recall correctly.
Punycode is not solving the same problem. Punycode solves Unicode in domain names. Percent encoding is for Unicode in URL paths. Lemmy only needs to worry about the paths, Punycode should be "supported" out of the box without any special handling
