About URL Encoding

URL encoding converts characters into a format that can be transmitted over the Internet. Characters that are not allowed in URLs (like spaces, special symbols, and non-ASCII characters) are replaced with a "%" followed by two hexadecimal digits.

Common encoded characters: space → %20, @ → %40, # → %23, ? → %3F, & → %26, = → %3D
