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.
