URL Escape Codes

When encoding a URL, a character may not be available on the keyboard. Other times, the character of a URL might not be usable in contexts where it may conflict with a reserved character. In either case, the character can be encoded with a % followed by its ASCII hexadecimal equivalent code.

Character Escape Code SPACE %20 < %3C > %3E # %23 % %25 { %7B } %7D | %7C \ %5C ^ %5E ~ %7E

Character Escape Code [ %5B ] %5D ` %60 ; %3B / %2F ? %3F : %3A @ %40 = %3D & %26 $ %24

For example: http://www.rpi.edu/%7Edecemj/ is the same as http://www.rpi.edu/~decemj/
