What does percent mean in URL?
% in a URI is followed by two characters from 0-9A-F , and is the escaped version of writing the character with that hex code. Doing this means you can write a URI with characters that might have special meaning in other languages.
What does represent in URL?
URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator. A URL is nothing more than the address of a given unique resource on the Web. In theory, each valid URL points to a unique resource. Such resources can be an HTML page, a CSS document, an image, etc.

The space character is unsafe because significant spaces may disappear and insignificant spaces may be introduced when URLs are transcribed or typeset or subjected to the treatment of word-processing programs.
How do I pass a blank space in a URL?
URLs cannot contain spaces. URL encoding normally replaces a space with a plus (+) sign or with %20.
Is the space character encoded as’+’or’% 20′?
In the rest of URLs, it is encoded as %20. In my opinion, it’s better to always encode spaces as %20, not as “+”, even in the query part of an URL, because it is the HTML specification (RFC-1866) that specified that space characters should be encoded as “+” in “application/x-www-form-urlencoded” content-type key-value pairs (see paragraph 8.2.1.
Do you have to have spaces in URLs?
A URL must not contain a literal space. It must either be encoded using the percent-encoding or a different encoding that uses URL-safe characters (like application/x-www-form-urlencoded that uses + instead of %20 for spaces).
Can a blank space be encoded in a URL?
No. Spaces in URIs/URLs should be encoded using %20 URLs use the ASCII charset. URL encoding replaces space characters with “%20” (percent followed by the ASCII code for a blank space). Invalid URI: http://www.yourdomain.tld/sample image.jpg Correct URI: http://www.yourdomain.tld/sample%20image.jpg
When to use% 20 in URL encoding?
