URL Encoded characters
What characters need to be encoded and why?
ASCII Control characters
Why:
These characters are not printable.
Characters: Includes the ISO-8859-1 (ISO-Latin) character ranges 00-1F hex (0-31 decimal)
and 7F (127 decimal.)
Non-ASCII characters
Why:
These are by definition not legal in URLs since they are not in the ASCII set.
Characters: Includes the entire "top half" of theIS O- La ti n set 80-FF hex (128-255 decimal.)
"Reserved characters"
Why:

URLs use some characters for special use in defining their syntax. When these
characters are not used in their special role inside a URL, they need to be
encoded.
