I have an htaccess file which contains some rewriting rules, for friendly urls.
everything is working fine, except if I use the letter 'נ' in hebrew.
Line (1) is working, line (2) isn't:
RewriteRule ^א$ file.ext
RewriteRule ^נ$ file.ext
I simply get a 500 error.
(I use wamp + win xp.pro)
.htaccess unicode wamp hebrew

Do you get the 500 error when you put the letter into .htaccess or into your browser?

A browser like Firefox would encode such characters, usually using UTF-8. So the web server would receive "%D7%A0" in the URL instead of this character.
Try putting that into your .htaccess rule instead of the character itself:
RewriteRule ^%D7%90$ file.ext
RewriteRule ^%D7%A0$ file.ext
It could also be that your web application doesn't know how to handle UTF-8 encoded URLs and so gives you a 500 error message.

@yossi it depends. Up until very recently there was simply no way at all to have such letters in the URL. A couple of years ago (maybe even less) Firefox started to show such URLs in "decoded", human-readable form. You can test if your browser supports this by going to the Hebrew wikipedia and looking at the URL bar, to see if it has hebrew characters or stuff like %D7%A7%D7.

@romkyns: Don't look at the URL bar, look at the reality. The URL bar "beautifies" the URL. To get the real URL, go to the URL bar, select the whole URL and copy it into the clipboard. Then, paste it whereever you want, for example in anotepadwindow.

My point is that URLs still only consist of ASCII characters, no matter what Firefox displays in the "URL bar". (That comment didn't aim at you personally but at those readers who might think that URLs may contain arbitrary characters by now. I felt your comment suggested that.)
