Hi Gordon:
Google Analytics question… Is it possible to manually tag urls for campaigns and pass chinese characters so they appear in GA reports? For instance, a colleague has a media buy coming up with Baidu and wants to pass a chinese phrase into the utm_term parameter.
I’ve tested this myself using GA’s campaign url builder which encodes the chinese characters. But what gets fired off to Google and sent in reports looks like this:
utmctr=\Ô%207.1ðS (in firefox)
or
utmctr=??%207.1?? (in IE)
Landing page is indeed UTF-8.
I’m thinking this is not going to work and I should have the colleague translate all her keyword tags into English?
Thanks in advance for your advice!
