After writing სტატიები inteed of articles here:
the section will disappear. ( and the name field/row will be empty in blog_txp_section )

Re: Section disepear when names with unicode characters(non english)
That’s Georgian, correct?
Textpattern doesn’t seem to have transliteration rules for Georgian. The section name must contain ASCII characters only, since it’s used in the URL (as opposed to the Title, which can include any UTF-8 characters). Textpattern transliterates the characters it knows about, then removes any remaining non-ASCII characters. Since it doesn’t have tranlist rules for those characters, all of them are removed, and the section has an empty name.
Your options are:
1. Manually transliterate the Georgian word to ASCII, and enter it in the Name box.
2. Edit textpattern/lib/i18n-ascii.txt, add transliteration rules for Georgian characters, and post it on the i18n forum.
