If the page is set to the proper charset, there should be no problem
clicking the link. If you are saying that some user may set the improper
charset so that the links won't work, that is total non-sense because if the
user cannot view what is on the page or cannot UNDERSTAND what is on the
page(the chinese viewing a Korean page sample), then why is that user ending
up looking at that webpage...

1) There have been many times when I've been searching for something, and found
what I needed on a page that had *SOME* English and *SOME* Korean.  Just because
there may be some characters on the page that I can't decode does not mean the
page is totally useless to me.  Your mail showed up tagged as ks_c_5601-1987 - 
if
you had put some Korean characters in your signature, they may or may not
have rendered correctly.  But I still understood your message enough to see
the link to 'w!.neteka.com'.

2) Babelfish.  Can of worms there. Enough said.
