AFAIK, મુખપૃષ્ઠ is a Gujurati word. The word "મુખપૃષ્ઠ" is part of the file name of the page "http://gu.wiktionary.org/wiki/મુખપૃષ્ઠ"; Whether or not your browser will correctly render that page is a different issue. > Because the web page creator was aware of the limitations of the system and > knew Gujrati characters will not be entertained in the URLS yet. I can't read Gujurati, so I don't know when the first URLs containing Gujurati were created. However, I was reading web pages whose URLs contained Chinese glyphs back in 1999. I ditched all of my 阿妹 links a couple of months ago, otherwise I'd supply URLs where the only thing that uses the Latin writing system is "http". (Even the TDL was a Chinese character.) > because the creator was ware of the systems limitations unlike average joe > ignorant user. That would true, if, and only if the website creator is deliberately designing a website that works with broken web browsers that ignore all web standards. > Note that their URL is still only those limited set of ascii characters! That hasn't been true for at least a decade, and probably longer. xan jonathon
