Will you ever add support for characters like these to Theorytab posts?:

A lot of songs in other languages use these characters in their titles so I think it is important to add them so that that the database can be more representative of all music while making sure that songs in other languages are spelled correctly.

Edit: Changed to feature request
It’s been a while and I don’t understand how this still wasn’t updated!
I’m not sure if this is possible right now. The URLs for specific theorytabs are generated from the text you enter into the Artist and Name fields when submitting – they always have the form https://www.hooktheory.com/theorytab/view/<artist-name>/<song-name>. The standard DNS system used for resolving domain names and link to the webpage in question has support the 128 ASCII characters; the most basic character set every computer must have. Accented letters and the like are encoded via UTF-8 which converts those letters into a standardized string of symbols. Some symbols always have special functions in URLs, such as . , ? & # / and therefore probably should not be used in the indexing scheme Hooktheory is currently using.
PS: please keep in mind that I am not a developer and I do not work for Hooktheory.
