I would like to include the URI http://beispiel.de/schnäppchen into a link in a XHTML document, which is encoded in UTF-8.
Should I percent-encode the URL and write
<a href="http://beispiel.de/schn%C3%A4ppchen">foobar</a>
?
“ä” is a legal character in UTF-8 and therefore should be legal in XML/XHTML, no?
Legal in (X)HTML, but not legal in an rfc2396 URL.
Note that the characters are converted using URL %-encoding, and not as SGML entities (with an
&)
