Frequently Asked Questions
When do I need to URL encode text?
Whenever you're putting text with special characters (spaces, &, ?, #, etc.) into a URL query string or parameter, encoding ensures it's interpreted correctly.
Which characters actually get encoded?
Reserved and unsafe characters like spaces, &, =, ?, /, and non-ASCII characters are converted to their percent-encoded equivalents; regular letters and numbers stay the same.
