About 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, so URL encoding replaces unsafe ASCII characters with a "%" followed by two hexadecimal digits.

Standard URL Encoding is used for encoding entire URLs, while URL Component Encoding is stricter and used for encoding specific parts of a URL (like query parameters).
