It could be resolved by normalizing or encoding the URL before the system processes it, or by validating inputs to ensure that any URLs containing non-ASCII characters are properly encoded.

Let me know if you need help implementing the encoding or validation on the affected endpoint.

Kind of amazing how quickly dailydotdev/daily-api#3293 came together. Awesome work by everyone involved :)
