I could be wrong, I generally only do business with English and such, but I do not think that mod_rewrite can handle Persian characters. Can anyone confirm or counter this?
SEF urls are blown out of proportion. Even query strings get indexed fine by Google, just not as highly ranked because of all of the extra foobar in the url. I checked DMOZ’s Persian links and the only ones that worked were in query strings or static pages, no rewritten urls.
Not srue what this means, but I searched google for this and found NO sef urls with this word: هندی though I did see a lot of listings.
I’m with LinuxFreelancer; if it’s possible to handle multi byte characters in Apache somebody would have found it by now, but now matter how you search for it it comes up blank.
