Non ASCII Characters

What This Means

URLs with characters outside of the ASCII character-set. Standards outline that URLs can only be sent using the ASCII character-set and some users may have difficulty with subtleties of characters outside this range.

What Triggers This Issue

This issue is triggered when a URL contains characters outside of the ASCII character-set. For example: https://www.getasky.com/frðggy/ 

How To Fix

URLs should be converted into a valid ASCII format, by encoding links to the URL with safe characters (made up of % followed by two hexadecimal digits). Today browsers and the search engines are largely able to transform URLs accurately.
