What is URL Encoding?

URL Encoding (also known as Percent-encoding) is a mechanism for encoding information in a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). Since URLs can only be sent over the Internet using the ASCII character-set, unsafe ASCII characters and non-ASCII characters must be replaced with a "%" followed by two hexadecimal digits.
