I'm trying to create content with characters in UTF-8, (jap カ) but pathauto ignores that characters (created alias jap for node...). I have added the line カ = "ka" to the i18n-ascii.txt, and it works perfectly for spanish transliterations like á = "a", but not for this japanese characters.

I'm really sorry, but I have little idea how to fix this. If you can find something which will work then that would be great. UTF8 is just not part of stuff that I have much experience with so I'm not able to provide much assistance.

The code the exists in pathauto for transliteration and utf8 support has all been contributed by other people.

I have tried this, and it seems to be working fine. I have a story node with the title Test: Foo & Bar! (#四), I appended 四 = "4" to my i18n-ascii.txt, and I got the correct alias story/2007/09/29/test-foo-bar-4.

Are you sure your modification to the transliteration file was saved correctly as UTF-8? Note that I'm using the latest dev version with this patch.

Note that the user in http://drupal.org/node/182757 had a similar problem and it seems that editing and/or uploading with tools that don't support utf8 was the problem.
