Non-ASCII characters are not allowed in a URL (in its external string representation, the input of the parser), they must be encoded. When you construct a URL from parts, the encoding will be done for you, as you specify unencoded elements. 'https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki' asUrl addPathSegment: 'prêt'; fragment: #French; yourself. => https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/pr%C3%AAt#French 'https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/pr%C3%AAt#French' asUrl. And you would be correct to remark that web browsers do allow this, which is more a UI thing.
