A URL has encoding for special
characters. Alphanumeric characters and most common characters
remain the same. All other characters must be encoded in the form
%xy where xy is a 2 digit hexadecimal representation of a
character.
For more information, refer
to: http://www.w3.org/Addressing/URL/Overview.html
Here are some special
characters, and their encoding:

NOTES:

·
|
The # character is a special character in the URL protocol to
delimit a fragment. As a result, all that comes after the #
character will be skipped. Therefore, the # character must be
encoded with %23. |

Special characters that are not included in standard ASCII are
not supported by URL. For example, characters like é, à, ã, É, and
å are not supported. |
