Unicode in URL, really? @nayapatrica

Not to pick on any particular website/magazine, but unicode in url? really (@nayapatrica) nayapatrika??

For example:
http://www.nayapatrika.com/multi-color/11642-कहाँ-छन्-युवा-%3F.html
Which is:
http://www.nayapatrika.com/multi-color/11642-%E0%A4%95%E0%A4%B9%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%81-%E0%A4%9B%E0%A4%A8%E0%A5%8D-%E0%A4%AF%E0%A5%81%E0%A4%B5%E0%A4%BE-%3F.html

I know that with the advent of unicode you can do anything like this:
http://thukka.net/?q=content/सहयोग-गर्छु-भन्दा-पनि-नपाईने-thukka
But, it is not fun!

I   recall  Nagariknews once had unicode nepali in their url. Now they handle it better.

All the news of ekantipur can be just browsed by changing the newsid in their urs:
http://www.ekantipur.com/kantipur/news/news-detail.php?news_id=250473
(no one does it, just a note)

I like the style of kamana prakashan because it makes life easier to browse  the archive.
http://www.newsofnepal.com/detailnews.php?type=dharahara&id=931
Just change the 931 to 930  and you get older news archive.
