What is URL Encoding?

URL encoding (also known as percent encoding) converts characters into a format that can be transmitted over the Internet. URLs can only contain a limited set of characters from the ASCII character set.

Characters outside this set must be encoded using a percent sign (%) followed by two hexadecimal digits representing the character's ASCII code.
