How do I use space and non-ascii characters in .htaccess files

in .htaccess imposibla use space, non-Latin characters and etc. ? For example how, fix this:

RewriteRule ^/(.*)/new user/(.*)$ /page/?id=$1 [QSA,L,E]

this decision is not me:

... /new_user/ ...

Thanks

The URL is automatically decoded before your rules operate on it, so you can test against literal characters, e.g. français\ español (note that you need to escape literal spaces with a backslash, unless the pattern is quoted).

However, based on your example, I think your actual concern is being able to do something like this:

RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/[^/]+/.*$ /page/?id=$1 [QSA,L]
#                    ^---^
#                       it doesn't matter what the user name is, as long as it
#                       doesn't contain a slash

You have to escape the reserved characters for URIs with their respective character codes in percent-encoding, e. g. %20 for a space.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percent-encoding for more details.

OK .. signs allowed in url: http://www.blooberry.com/indexdot/html/topics/urlencoding.htm and in htaccess:

RewriteRule ^(([0-9]+)-)?new_user(-([0-9]+))?/?$   new_user.php?page=$2&id=$4 [L]

change www.blabla.com/10-new_user-5
to www.blabla.com/new_user.php?page=10&id=5
