URL Encoding Standards

RFC 3986 - Uniform Resource Identifier

Defines the syntax and semantics of URIs, including URL encoding rules using percent-encoding.

Percent-Encoding

Characters are encoded as % followed by two hexadecimal digits representing the UTF-8 bytes.

Space → %20
! → %21
A → A (unchanged)
你 → %E4%BD%A0

Unreserved Characters

These characters don't need encoding: A-Z a-z 0-9 - . _ ~
