Group Url with foreign characters not working correctly.

[thebuded]

I created a group on a fresh WP installation with only buddypress activated.

There is a problem with the group having some Chinese words in it.

If I copy and paste the url into the URL bar and enter, the page will return Page not found.
example: ​http://example.com/group/test一些中文/

But if I use the ASCII version of the url it will work in the URL bar.
example: ​http://example.com/group/test%e4%b8%80%e4%ba%9b%e4%b8%ad%e6%96%87/

It will also work if I click on the link anywhere in the site.

This problem doesn't exist in v1.6.

sever setup:
nginx 1.4.1
PHP v5.4.16-1
MYSQL v5.5.31-0

Did some slight testing and I've confirmed the bug.

This could be fixed if rewrite rules (#4954) is implemented in BP 1.9.

I just tested this again and it appears to work.

Please create a new ticket if you are still running into issues.
