Would the following 2 canonical link tags be viewed by spiders as pointing to the same URL?
<link rel="canonical" href="http://www.example.com/ŷ" /> – encoded
<link rel="canonical" href="http://www.example.com/ŷ" /> – unencoded
ŷis an HTML entity that represents the Unicode character with code point 375 in decimal notation. In hexadecimal it’d be 0x177 so we are talking about U+0177 which isŷ.That means that both URLs are exactly the same if:
If the browser displays ŷ in both cases it’s likely that character set is correct but you should make sure it is.
