Percent-encoding may be used to include symbols with special meaning in any
of the <acronym>URI</acronym> parts, e.g. replace <literal>=</literal> with
<literal>%3D</literal>.
Connection <acronym>URI</acronym> needs to be encoded with
<ulink url="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-2.1">Percent-encoding</ulink>
if it includes symbols with special meaning in any of its parts.
Here is an example where equal sign (<literal>=</literal>) is replaced
with <literal>%3D</literal> and whitespace character with
<literal>%20</literal>:
