Special characters in the title equals invalid URL?
-
When creating a title for my posts I used Japanese brackets like these:『 』
The corresponding link of this post is generated using the name of the title, but because I’ve used these ‘special characters’ in the title, often when I post a link to the actual posting it will result in an error (because of the special characters I used), furthermore, I can’t submit these links in sites as Digg or StumbleUpon.What can I do?
(obviously apart from changing the title of a post without『 』)The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Using this for example
http://chokochoko.wordpress.com/2009/10/14/『classifying-de-tango』/Have you tried making the title “Classifying de Tango” until the permalink saves,
then adding the 『 』marks.Readers will see the title as you want them to, but the links won’t be rejected by Digg or StumbleUpon.

OMG that was so simple! I didn’t know the permalink is final as soon as you create a post. Adding the 『 』afterwards worked perfectly, thanks a million!!
About the Digg site, when adding a new link, having marks like 『 』in de URL somehow wouldn’t be accepted en results in an invalid URL. But now with your trick adding them afterwards solves the problem! :)

Great! Glad that worked for you.
It’s like having your cake (『 』)
and eating it (『 』), too.

chokochoko in Japanese is the ‘sound’ of crawling/scurrying like bugs do :)
I know, but it has a purpose haha -
