If you want non-ascii characters in the topic title, you need to change the `slug generation method` site setting to encoded.

The Sitemap plugin is installed on the business hosting plan. You can enable it on the site settings too.

You may wish to google for that solution as it is not specific to Discourse.

(It is also not advisable to redirect to non-www, as cookies are stored for the entire domain if you run as root / apex domain. You should redirect from apex to www.)
