Why do you need to rewrite URLs?
Cheers,

Forgive me, I've seemed to have lost the direction of this thread
with respect to the subject line. If what you are talking about is
multilingual characters appearing in url's, then Rob is correct to
question.
URL's are currently (and have been for several years) multilingual.
The IDNS WG developed PUNYCODE to do 7-bit to 8-bit encoding to
include all Unicode code points.
If you are running Windows/Opera 9 or Mac/Safari, you can see
multilingual characters actually appear in the URL -- like this for
example:
xn--w4h.com
However, for most browsers, the fear of homographic attack has forced
them show PUNYCODE instead.
