Japanese characters not loaded correctly in the Rank Math permalink field

Hi Michele,

Thanks for getting in touch with us.

This is due to the way URLs are encoding in the editor and then decoded in your browser. Rank Math sees what you see in the first screenshot and that is why we are not able to detect the focus keyword in the permalink. You can disregard it.

The score is there only for your reference anyway and doesn’t affect your actual rankings. Treat it only as a to-do list, nothing more. Don’t try to live by it and don’t follow the tests religiously.

Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
