Currency Symbols in URLs

[theGman]

I have searched high and low and simply can not find the right explanation. Does anyone know how I can get currency symbols into Wordpress URLs.

Is a plug in totally necessary ?

Any advice appreciated.

No idea how to do it, but you may be better off using the abbreviations (ie - GBP, USD, AUD, etc.) in the URL.

In the event you don't like that alternative, it sounds like you "can" edit WP core on your own. However, it also sounds like you'd have to do this every time WP pushes out (and you install) an update.

The "$" is a special coding character that is classed as "Reserved".

You can add it to a URL, but the URL must be encoded or the $ will break the URL.
