Why is this important?
It is important to use Latin characters in slugs because URLs are based on the ASCII character set, which primarily includes Latin letters, numbers, and a few special symbols.
Non-Latin slugs can impact SEO and indexing primarily due to readability, encoding, and user experience challenges. While search engines like Google can crawl and index URLs with non-Latin characters, these URLs often get automatically encoded in UTF-8, resulting in complex, percent-encoded strings (like %E4%BD%A0%E5%A5%BD instead of readable characters). This encoding reduces URL readability and user-friendliness, which can negatively affect click-through rates and sharing on various platforms.
