 * Hi there,
 * I have an arabic website that uses the /%category%/%postname%/ permalink structure.
 * When trying to create a filter in PO, the arabic permalink gets saved as [http://website.com/](http://website.com/)????-????
 * As a result, the filter is not working.
 * I have also tried the hex version of the permalink. Doesn’t work either.
 * As a test, I created a new page with an english slug, so the permalink didn’t
   contain any arabic character, and the filter did work.
 * So it looks like unicode permalinks are not supported by PO?

 * I finally made it work.
 * I had to use the hex version of the permalink, and add a trailing / at the end.

 * I have not tested PO with any languages other than English. Glad you got it figured
   out.
