Just to point out:

If you don't believe me then do a "View source in this question to verify that the URL is actually:

<a href="https://www.dott.com/news/1061/%D8%B5%D8%A7%D8%AD%D8%A8-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B3%D9%85%D9%88-%D9%8A%D8%AF%D8%B4%D9%86-%D9%85%D8%B5%D9%81%D8%A7%D8%A9-%D9%84%D9%81%D8%A7%D9%86-2" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.dott.com/news/1061/صاحب-السمو-يدشن-مصفاة-لفان-2</a>

You therefore need to do:

$url = urlencode("https://www.dott.com/news/1061/صاحب-السمو-يدشن-مصفاة-لفان-2");

However, if a browser gets a URL encoded string they are usually happy to translate the URL encoded symbols to characters and show them in the address bar.

As a reminder valid URL characters are:

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789-._~:/?#[]@!$&'()*+,;=`.

Check What characters are valid in a URL? or https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3986 for more details.
