Cloud Service:Character Replacements
Special Character Handling
Using the REST service may require that you encode certain characters using the proper URL entities before adding them to a URL. Characters like spaces, slashes, ampersands, and others must be replaced by special codes, which usually consist of a percent sign followed by a two-digit hexadecimal number.
The following table shows the replacements for the most common characters.
| Character | Encoding |
|---|---|
| Space | %20 or + |
| * | %2A |
| # | %23 |
| & | %26 |
| % | %25 |
| $ | %28 |
| + | %2B |
| , | %2C |
| / | %2F |
| : | %3A |
| ; | %3B |
| < | %3C |
| = | %3D |
| > | %3E |
| ? | %3F |
| @ | %40 |
| [ | %5B |
| ] | %5D |
| ~ | %7E |
