Asian Text in URLs

Hi Everyone,
I recently decided to start an experimental Gemlog written in Korean. I
found, however, that some clients do not like having Asian text in the
path of the URL---either as the name of a folder or a file.
What is the general consensus about non-latin characters in URLs? The
Gemini Spec doesn't say anything that would lead me to believe I
shouldn't name my files and folders in Korean. Also, for most clients it
is apparently a non-issue.
For an example, you can point your client to gemini://namu.blue/쌍록/
Some clients will crash, some will not attempt to load the page, and
some will just return a Permanent Failure. Some will even crash
attempting to parse the link to that page on gemini://namu.blue/.
Anyway, I just wanted to see what everyone thinks about the best
practice in this situation.
Thanks!
