ÅÄÖ: what is considered more SEO friendly URL

Question

As far as I can tell I shouldn\'t be using ÅÄÖ (somthing like they have no visual representation in ASCII??).

So what is considered more SEO friendly? Replacing i.e. all

Answer 1

I'd suggest using the IDNA ToASCII that is the standard for internationalised top-level domains. ICANN have recently approved native-script top level domains using this algorithm, so I'd be surprised if any of the major search engines decided not to support it in future.
