Ah yes, I did notice the /post/ part of the URL. That's fine, really. It's the slug part that matters.
In a purely CJK post, there are no spaces. All the punctuation are double-byte, too. Although many people are used to putting spaces in front and after numbers and English, like so: "這是一個內含 ABC 的中文句子。" Cutting excerpts by spaces will cause a huge problem on CJK sites, as the next space may only happen after another 40 words, if at all.
Just as an example, I'll write out the previous paragraph in Chinese for you here:
在一篇純漢字的文章裡不會有空格。所有標點也都會是全形,不過很多人習慣在數字和英文字前後加入空格,像這樣:「這是一個內含 ABC 的中文句子。」等到有空格才切摘要的話,在漢字網站會造成很嚴重的問題,因為下一個空格可能要等四十個字後才會出現,甚至可能不會出現。
If you search for spaces in that paragraph, you'll only find two: before and after the "ABC". (Note that your system/browser fonts need to have the CJK code ranges to even display that paragraph properly.)
If you cut excerpts by number of characters, you want to cut in the middle of sentences to avoid hanging punctuation. Cutting after a full-stop is fine, but cutting after a comma or an opening quote is bad.
However, most (if not all) CJK users are no longer surprised about bad handling of CJK on the internet. So as long as it's not broken (as in content not showing, words show up as garbled random codes etc), we take it rather well.
In my opinion, the best way to handle excerpts is always to use a special tag for it. You cannot go wrong when the author is the one doing the cutting.
