while trying to get the location information for a twitter id, whose location is set as "EAЯTH!", PlaceFinder strangely returns Utah, United States.
PlaceFinder is confused by the presence of "Я" (Cyrillic Ya) in the query string. The "Я" is misinterpreted as "N", so PlaceFinder looks for a place named "EANTH!". There is no exactly matching place name so PlaceFinder tries to find a similar sounding place name. It finds "Aneth, Utah, United States" and returns that as the best possible match. For best results, avoid mixing characters from different languages in the query string.
