Questions
What is the difference between encoding a component and a full URL?
Component encoding also escapes characters such as / ? & = and #, so use it for a single value inside a query string. Full URL encoding leaves those characters alone so the address still works.
Why does decoding fail on some text?
A percent sign must be followed by two hexadecimal digits that form valid UTF-8. A lone % or a cut off sequence such as %E2 cannot be decoded.
