Symfony2 special chars in route path

Question

Symfony2 by default displays entity details by ID

 /**
 * Finds and displays a State entity.
 * @Route("state/{id}", name="state_show")
 * @Template()
 */

I'd like to display name of the state, but most of states contains special chars (Polish special chars).

Links work if I use {name} but it is safe to use special chars in link?

Question is more about how to change special chars to regular chars in Symfony than which chars are allowed. — hywak, May 05 '14 at 08:30

Since you are not going to encode the URL, characters other than the following are unsafe.

You can use Gedmo extensions for that, especially Sluggable.

In my opinion the best way (also for SEO) is to change polish letters to standard ones (for example ł => l, ą => a) and use - as words separators
