feedburner url turns to question marks - rss

Im using Apache's Url Rewrite engine to rewrite my blog post's urls in
hebrew.
Im using Feedburner as my rss provider.
everything works fine with my website, as well as with my rss.xml file.
the problem is when I click on a link from Feedburner: It turns all of
the hebrew characters into question marks. Here's an example:
the link:
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Webdeskil/~3/v4V5nVxzOS8/כסף-באינטרנט-גוגל-אדסנס
becomes:
http://www.webdesk.co.il/articles/???-????????-????-??????
So I figure out its a Feedburner issue, rather than an issue with my
code.
any suggestions?

I figured it out: feedburner doesnt encode a given url, so urls in hebrew have to be encoded before being "sent" to feedburner via .rss.
I used the built in PHP function urlEncode() and the problem was solved.

Something is creating strange URLs in Wordpress Website

I have a problem with a Wordpress based website. Something is creating strange URLs. I know about those URLs, because Google Webmaster Developer try to Crawl them and the Crawler gets a 404 error (Not found). I have that problem in different websites:
In the first one the URLs looks like spam:
http://xxxx.com/wp-content/w3tc/apple-iphone-3gs-8gb-black-manual
In the other website the URLs make sense based on the content, but they are not valid URLs:
http://xxxx.com/portfolio/pool-view-suite-bathroom/
In other website, it's creating URLs that looks like valid, but with a ".html" in the final
If you try to access those URLs, you will get a 404 error. Curiously, when you look the "Linked By" tan in Google Developer Tools, you will see that is linked by another strange URL o there is no linked from. And that URLs are not in the sitemap, I checked it.
Thank you!
the first one is a trojan without a doubt. Quite usually, you'll find them in index.php, footer.php, header.php . If in doubt, check with an online tool like Sucuri
Once you isolate it, it's very important to know how you have it. While most people thinks they have been "hacked", in most cases you uploaded it by yourself from your own computer, so be sure to scan it thoroughly.
About the other cases, sounds more like an htaccess issue, but based on the first case, quite probably it's caused by this trojan as well. Ask your host to check the site, it's in their best interest to do it so. But assuming it's just htaccess, try this: go to Settings --> Permalinks and change the permalinks structure to anything else than what you have now. Don't hit the submit button yet. In the meanwhile, BACKUP your htaccess file and then delete it. Hit submit on the permalinks page an a new .htaccess file will be created. Try your site now. If it works, it was just a simple htaccess issue. If not, something else, going from a trojan to a server misconfiguration to anything in between
Maybe the domain was used before and you are seeing past valid urls which are now 404, or maybe these are incorrect, inbound spammy links which you would want to be 404. Duff links can be found anywhere on the internet and so no reason to think your site is generating them.

Change Permalink Settings

Is it ok to have custom Permalink Settings in wordpress of http://www.sitename.com/sample-post instead of http://www.sitename.com/sample-post/. Is it ok with search engine.
ie, /%postname% instead of /%postname%/
From Search Engine point of view the URLs with or without slash are two different identities and neither is preferred. From users point of view, we should have only one URL to avoid any confusion and better user experience. From SEO point of view, the preferred version should return 200 and the duplicate URL should 301 to the preferred URL
Matt Cutts (head of Google’s Webspam team) prefer trailing slash.

Issue with Japanese/International Characters with IIS7 URL Rewrite

I have a friend with a Japanese blog, using wordpress, he has the pretty url. Basically domain.com/postname. Well an example of a url might be. "domain.com/テスト". His blog is hosted on an Apache web server.
I am running IIS7 and am trying to get my Japanese blog going like it should, and have "domain.com/テスト" show just that one post when you visit that url. My thinking is it has something to do with url-encoding. I can't find too much information on utf-8 or anything about getting international characters to work in a url.
Any help on this would be great. I am thinking I should change something in the web.config file, but not to sure. I haven't had a lot of experience with IIS7.
Thanks.
This was pulled off of forum post linked to above.
Try adding the following code at the beginning of the wp-config.php file:
if ( isset($_SERVER['UNENCODED_URL']) ) {
$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = $_SERVER['UNENCODED_URL'];}
