HTML URL Encoding

URL encoding converts characters into a format that can be transmitted over the Internet.

URLs can only be sent over the Internet using the ASCII character set.

Since URLs often contain characters outside the ASCII set, the URL has to be converted into a valid ASCII format.

URL encoding uses a "%" followed by two hexadecimal digits to replace unsafe ASCII characters.

URLs cannot contain spaces. URL encoding normally replaces a space with a plus (+) sign or with %20.

If you click a submit button, the browser will encode the input before sending it to the server.
