What is percent-encoding?

Reserved and non-ASCII characters are replaced with % followed by two hexadecimal digits, so URLs remain valid.

Should I encode an entire URL?

Usually you encode individual query values or path segments, not the whole URL including :// and ?.

Is my input uploaded?

No. Encoding and decoding run in your browser.
