I tried it out and it doesn't seem to support unicode well.
I searched for "学校" (Japanese: gakkou, school) in Japan and the results page was headed with "%E5%AD%A6%E6%A0%A1".
Additionally, the actual results weren't great; it found a 2014 movie and a handful of Amazon/Youtube searches that aren't accurate. Some of the Youtube search results weren't even Japanese, but Chinese.
Just in case I'd weirdly picked a bad word (dubious since school closings etc. are all over the news), I also tried パンくん (Japanese: pan-kun, the name of a chimpanzee who was famous for being with Shimura Ken, a recently deceased comedian), which is currently trending on Twitter.
I didn't get any trend information at all.
- mikerubini 7y agoHello there, Yes, I'm aware of the bug. We don't support Japanese characters still. Sorry, I'll fix it as soon as I can. Meanwhile, please give the tool a second chance by searching in English if you can. Thanks for the feedback!
- sdrothrock 7y agoMaybe remove the Japan option until you do support Japanese? It just seems to be an invitation to make yourself look bad. :/
- mikerubini 7y agoYep, thanks for the feedback! =)
