Should I use hyphens or underscores in slugs?

Hyphens (-) are recommended by Google for SEO. They're treated as word separators, while underscores (_) are not. Most modern CMSs and frameworks use hyphens by default.

What happens to special characters?

Special characters are removed or converted: accented characters become their base equivalents (é → e), symbols are removed, and spaces become hyphens.
