Hello guys,

I am experiencing crawling errors in Moz because the URLs read by spiders contain accents and special characters, which I know isn't best but yet my client needs to keep it.

I know that  Moz "uses percent encoding to parse the HTML in the source code, so any line breaks and spaces in your HTML links or sitemap links are converted to %0A and %20, causing a 404 error".

Is there any way to avoid these errors happening in the dashboard? Or am I supposed to simply ignore it?
