As designed "?" symbol does not show on URLs?

[Lucas]

At least not on my forum. For example, I open a thread with the title starting with ¿ and ending with ? and the ? symbol will not show in the URL.

See: http://planetaxbox.com/threads/¿qué-juego-estas-jugando-actualmente.1/

Looks like it's made to not appear. Then I guess we should also have ¿ removed?

Well ? has a special meaning in URLs, so it can't be used. We only strip out special characters that are in the (7-bit) ASCII range - there's an unlimited number of non-ASCII characters that could be removed. There are thoughts around this, but that's more of a different feature.

So I guess it'll stay like this for now?

Judging by Mike's comments, I'm guessing it will stay like this for good.
