+Unicode Routing support
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The Routing component supports UTF-8 characters in route paths and requirements.
+Thanks to the ``utf8`` route option, you can make Symfony match and generate
+routes with UTF-8 characters:
+
+.. configuration-block::
+
+  .. code-block:: php-annotations
+
+        // src/AppBundle/Controller/DefaultController.php
+        namespace AppBundle\Controller;
+
+        use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller;
+        use Sensio\Bundle\FrameworkExtraBundle\Configuration\Route;
+
+        class DefaultController extends Controller
+        {

+             *
+             */
+            public function categoryAction()
+            {
+                // ...
+            }
+
+  .. code-block:: yaml
+
+      # routes.yml
+      route1:
+          path:     /category/{name}
+          defaults: { _controller: 'DefaultController::categoryAction' }
+          options:
+            utf8: true

+
+            <route id="route1" path="/category/{name}">
+                <default key="_controller">AppBundle:Default:category</default>
+                <option key="utf8">true</option>

+
+      $collection = new RouteCollection();
+      $collection->add('route1', new Route('/category/{name}',
+      array(
+          '_controller' => 'AppBundle:Default:category',
+      ),
+      array(),
+      array(
+          'utf8' => true,
+      ));
+
+      // ...
+
+      return $collection;
+
+
+In this route, the ``utf8`` option set to true makes Symfony consider the
+``.`` requirement to match any UTF-8 characters instead of just a single
+byte character, so the following URLs would match: ``/category/日本語``,
+``/category/فارسی``, ``/category/한국어``, etc. In case you are wondering,
+this option also allows to include and match emojis in URLs.

+
+
+This second example describes how you can use UTF-8 string as a routing
+requirement.
+
+.. note::
+
+    In Symfony 3.2 there is no need to set this utf8 explicitly. As soon
+    as Symfony finds a UTF-8 character in the route path or requirements,
+    it will turn the UTF-8 support automatically. In addition to UTF-8
+    characters, the Routing component also supports all the `PCRE Unicode properties`_,
+    which are escape sequences that match generic character types. For
+    example, ``\p{Lu}`` matches any uppercase character in any language,
+    ``\p{Greek}`` matches any Greek character, ``\P{Han}`` matches any character
+    not included in the Chinese Han script.
+
+.. versionadded:: 3.2
+    UTF-8 support for route paths and requirements were introduced in
+    Symfony 3.2.
