Is it possible to make it in other than latin?
have you ever seen a non-latin char url, ever?
the fedivere is incredibly url/dns dependent. labels/content can be any language (mbin uses weblate to allow for dozens off languages) but the underlying urls that control everything prolly require latin chars

Looks good because URL beautifiers catch that, but the actual URL you linked is https://ar.m.wikisource.org/wiki/%D8%AA%D9%81%D8%B3%D9%8A%D8%B1_%D8%A7%D8%A8%D9%86_%D9%83%D8%AB%D9%8A%D8%B1 and relying on URL detection has proven to be very unreliable. For instance, Wikipedia links often lack closing parentheses, or closing parentheses and other punctuation get added to links accidentally.
Hex-encoded URLs are technically valid, but not very readable to humans.
