LinkedIn profile URL is not displayed properly if profile URL contains emoji

[pyonghe]

E.g. When you visit a profile url with emoji, the link is not displayed properly,

By encoding and the replacing the \x with % this solve the issue as shown below,
repr(data_slug.encode("utf-8")).replace("\x","%").replace("b","",1).replace("'","")

People use Emoji in name...?

Yes there are instances where LinkedIn profile url has emoji. As shown in the screen cap above. Then the generated html will have a wrong url due to the encoding that is done with that emoji.
