Testing - Following with Chinese characters


This test for adding 'Following' is for a Blog with a mixture of English and Chinese (Traditional) characters in the Title. I am trying to re-create a 400 series (Bad Request) code Error, or a 404 (Not Found) code Error, which a Blogger, Jane, was inquiring about, on Blogger Help Group. Jane's Blog Title was:

"Reddie's Page | 鸿屋"



Starting this Test with the Blog Language set to English, the Profile Language set to English, and the Blog Title set to:

" My Follow Testing Blog - 我的測試博客 "

Following loaded - no problems.


Then I started to wonder why...




Then it finally tweaked. In Jane's Blog Title, she had her English characters and her Chinese characters, separated by a "concatenation" ( Shift \) which produces an "|". I substituted this for the 'hyphen' in my Blog Title, and guess what? That's correct - a 400 Error - Bad Request! (Eureka)




When I switched it back to the 'hyphen' again, I could 'Follow' this Blog without the 400 Error.



The reason I tweaked to the concatenation, was that I tried to save the URL of this new Testing Blog, and Post, to my Notepad, which I do for all Blogs and Posts - and got this...


Apparently, Blogger Known Issues is reporting a similar problem for some readers, when trying to 'Follow' Blogs which have quotation marks in their Titles ... Sept. 23.
