About URL Encoding/Decoding
URL encoding converts characters that are not allowed in a URL into character-entity equivalents. For example, spaces are converted to %20.
URL decoding reverses this process, converting encoded characters back to their original form.
Common URL Encodings:
| Character | Encoded Value |
|---|---|
| Space | %20 |
| ! | %21 |
| # | %23 |
| $ | %24 |
| & | %26 |
| + | %2B |
| = | %3D |
