I met a bug that Profile - Activity - Topics is not working with Chinese username.
Assume the Chinese username is `快` and its Unicode is `%E5%BF%AB`. If I click Profile - Activity - Topics, it works fine because discourse queries `/topics/created-by/%E5%BF%AB.json`. But if I scroll down and want to load more, it fails with status code 404. It queries `/topics/created-by/%25E5%25BF%25AB.json?page=1` because `%` in the Unicode username is converted to `%25`.
