Improve documentation about Unicode characters in titles vs $wgLegalTitleChars
Open, LowPublic

Description

How does MediaWiki handle Unicode characters in titles? For example there is a Navier–Stokes equations page on Wikipedia, although the en dash is not matched by its $wgLegalTitleChars. Percent-encoding and HTML entities are also out of the question since they are explicitly disabled in the getTitleInvalidRegex function.

The documentation in Manual:$wgLegalTitleChars should be updated to explain this.
