+### URI paths with non-ASCII characters parse correctly on Unix
+
+A bug was fixed in the <xref:System.Uri?displayProperty=fullName> class such that absolute URI paths that contain non-ASCII characters now parse correctly on Unix platforms.
+
+#### Change description
+
+In previous versions of .NET, absolute URI paths that contain non-ASCII characters are parsed incorrectly on Unix platforms, and segments of the path are duplicated. (Absolute paths are those that start with "/".) The parsing issue has been fixed for .NET 5.0. If you move from a previous version of .NET to .NET 5.0 or later, you'll get different values produced by <xref:System.Uri.AbsoluteUri?displayProperty=nameWithType>, <xref:System.Uri.ToString?displayProperty=nameWithType>, and other <xref:System.Uri> members.
+
+Consider the output of the following code when run on Unix.
+
+```csharp
+var myUri = new Uri("/üri");
+
+Console.WriteLine($"AbsoluteUri: {myUri.AbsoluteUri}");
+Console.WriteLine($"ToString: {myUri.ToString()}");
+```
+
+Output on previous .NET version:
+
+```text
+AbsoluteUri: /%C3%BCri/%C3%BCri
+ToString: /üri/üri
+```
+
+Output on .NET 5.0 or later version:
+
+```text
+AbsoluteUri: /%C3%BCri
+ToString: /üri
+```
+
+#### Version introduced
+
+5.0
+
+#### Recommended action
+
+If you have code that expects and accounts for the duplicated path segments, you can remove that code.
