IRI for {{canonicalurl:}}?

Looking at
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Cite&page=%C4%B0stanbul_B%C3%BCy%C3%BCk%C5%9Fehir_Belediyespor_%28football_team%29&id=483557138
you see a lot of unpretty URLs (Bug 7329 [0]).

With https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#change,3897 a new global function
wfExpandIRI() was introduced for printer friendly URLs in unicode.

First and easiest solution for pretty URLs would be to run the function
which outputs {{canonicalurl:}} through wfExpandIRI().

Is this safe? Are all browsers able to handle IRIs [1]?

Otherwise I am thinking about creating a new magic word
{{canonicaliri:}}. This can be used in [2] for example.

Raimond.
